A take on transparency

A colleague of mine shared an interesting perspective on transparency the other day. It was in the context of decision-making in a corporate environment: It's not about everyone taking part in making the decision. It's not about telling everyone everything about what you're doing at every point during the decision-making process. It's about providing sufficient context and reasoning behind the decision—explaining why the decision was made. Too little information leaves people confused, anxious, and potentially resentful; too much can overwhelm or distract from what actually matters.
