A transparent leader provides necessary and relevant information, ensuring the team is informed, equipped and engaged. Instead of shuttering inquiries, they welcome questions and ensure communication flows freely. Maintaining trust requires the safeguarding of sensitive and confidential material, but also the generous sharing of needed and helpful information.
Transparent leaders build trust by ensuring their teams have the information they need to be successful and feel secure.
Consider the information your team needs to be successful. What are their biggest concerns? What information can you share to reinforce their trust and equip them to succeed?
