The transparency trade off

There are many leaders that resist the entire notion of transparency with every instinct and every fibre of their body. This is understandable when you consider how us human beings have evolved. Yet UK plc is facing unprecedented global challenges and therefore so are its organisations and so are its leaders.

In the Boardroom you first have to discuss the Bull’s Eye for your organisation and then you have to debate it but finally you have to agree it. This requires openness, honesty and a willingness to put the interests of the business ahead of the interests of any one individual.

But it doesn’t stop there. Once you have a Bull’s Eye measurable statement of excellence for the organisation you then need to move on to your own facilitated 360 degree appraisal. This is where you discover your own personal development points and your own personal commitment to excellence that you share with colleagues.

The trade off for genuine transparency is peak performing people and peak performing organisations.
