No doubt you’ve been hearing the word more lately – “transparency.” That’s because companies are calling for it in order to increase their credibility with their customers, investors, and employees. A June 2003 article in Fast Company magazine confirmed: “Transparency is a fact of modern life.” But how, exactly, does a leader become transparent and build credibility at the same time? The Transparency Edge inspires a steadfast approach and dissects nine behaviors that guide leaders who wrestle with decisions around transparency. The book presents ground-breaking research and offers powerful case studies of some of the nation’s most transparent leaders.

“This book really affirms the leadership style I aspire to and confirms principles all leaders should focus on. It is a timely and instructive guidebook for leaders in organizations who need to establish and maintain credibility.”
