They explore the lightning-rod concept of "transparency"–which has fast become the buzzword not only in business and corporate settings but in government and the social sector as well. Together Bennis, Goleman, and O'Toole explore why the containment of truth is the dearest held value of far too many organizations and suggest practical ways that organizations, their leaders, their members, and their boards can achieve openness. After years of dedicating themselves to research and theory, at first separately, and now jointly, these three leadership giants reveal the multifaceted importance of candor and show what promotes transparency and what hinders it. They describe how leaders often stymie the flow of information and the structural impediments that keep information from getting where it needs to go. This vital resource is written for any organization–business, government, and nonprofit–that must achieve a culture of candor, truth, and transparency. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good Book that should find its way into the New White House as REQUIRED ReadingThe three essays in this book should be read by everyone in a leadership or managererial role. THe authors point out ways to create culture's of candor - open, honest, and forthright organizations - something that has been getting more rare as time goes on. Personally I believe that this book should be on the required reading list for eah and every member of the new Obama Administration.

Great book. Highly recommended. Rating: - Transparency, but also Leadership and TrustAn excellent book by three of my favorite authors. A bit of a Democratic bias in how they select their stories from my point of view . . . but good stuff for today's and tomorrow's leaders. The book could have been better balanced between the sad stories of leaders who were not transparent and those on the other side who smear people without fear of reprecussion. Bloggers are not all automatically good guys. So many good lines and good points . . . I will make slides to use ... Read More Rating:  - No Kindle editionThis book sounds interesting but there is no Kindle edition, so I won't be buying it. Rating: - Good as Usualthe book is simply written with the usual wisdom that these authors/consultants bring to bear. Easy to read and totally enjoyable
