Importance of Being Transparent<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Being transparent means that no secrets or vital information should be kept from the team. Secrets can poison any work culture.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 musts to being a transparent leader:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. Listen and provide feedback<\/strong>\u00a0– being a good listener is a must but\u00a0being a good leader and providing feedback in an absolute. Try to avoid overpromising when you give feedback \u2026\u2026 by the way this is so easy to do!<\/li>\n
    2. Communicate with effectiveness and efficiency<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 so often transparency breaks down when leaders don\u2019t communicate well or at all. When new ideas or things that affect staff are not communicated well, it sometimes feels like a lack of respect for those affected and things feel \u201cfunny\u201d. Take time to think through your communication.\u00a0Seek input from other managers that you trust when in doubt! Never underestimate the value of \u201csharing\u201d.<\/li>\n
    3. Work By Committee<\/strong>\u00a0– involving other staff in some decision-making\u00a0processes is invaluable \u2026\u2026 in other words, you can\u2019t put a price on it! Staff cannot and should not be in on all decision-making processes but finding opportunities to work by committee and involving and also engaging staff means so much. Here\u2019s a little tip for you \u2026.. never underestimate the knowledge and experience that staff bring to the table \u2026.. many times they have the best ideas!<\/li>\n
    4. Be Engaged<\/strong>\u00a0– part of being a transparent leader is engaging yourself in the day-to-day activities in your office. Make time to say hello to those in your office daily ( I used to say \u201ctake time\u201d to do this but I like work \u201cmake\u201d here \u2026\u2026. I think it means that you are being much more intentional about the effort). Please understand that just by being engaged doesn\u2019t equal being transparent but it does build credibility with your staff. Credibility leads to a trusting relationship that is important to being a transparent leader!<\/li>\n
    5. Be Honest<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 staff expect and appreciate honesty. The old saying \u201cHonesty is the best policy\u201d is so true. It\u2019s SO easy to not be 100% honest at times \u2026.. it is! Part of being honest is admitting mistakes. As a leader, mistakes will be made \u2026\u2026 how you deal with them is the variable! Honesty builds credibility, respect, trust and much more!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
