I had a conversation with a friend this morning about Transparent Leadership. I think it is very difficult to judge our own transparency (although I think this friend does it pretty well).  The challenge is to be open enough to understand how our people, both those who like us and those who may not, perceive us.  Are we perceived as open, transparent, supportive, interrupt-able, accessible?  Do we make time to understand others challenges and perspectives?  Can we provide the same energy and resources for ideas that didn't originate with us?  Great post Jonena. Thanks for making us think. Mike...
