TRANSPARENCY IS THE NEW PATH...

Leadership Transparency....where is it?

Have you found yourself in a place where your leaders are so far from transparent and authentic it is really hard to recognize them at all, or very easy? The good part is that you have found yourself...However...you will be asking yourself how does one evolve or grow around leaders who are not transparent and authentic? You soon come to realize evolving at your workplace must happen in silence...as the spoken or unspoken words and the transparent or hidden agendas play havoc to people and their organizations...
Leaders who are not transparent in their organizations are most certainly very difficult to change, someone recently said to me..."leopards never change their spots". It is so hard to witness and be under the wing of leaders who are not willing to lead authentically...one takes the risk of losing their way...or become too frightened to say anything and become immobile or even worse take an uncaring position. If one can not feel free to speak their truth and express themselves honestly with their leaders how can we be true to our own hearts...If we allow ourselves to fall into this trap... well we are no better ... "Apathy in our society allows for exploitation on just about every front!"

When you were a child transparency is natural...it just flows and you express and allow yourself to be playful. You are so inspired or in spirit...there is no pressure to know the whys or what's ... Your heart knows, your heart tells all...this is transparency.

Leaders today must be more than someone who inspires, motivates and provides direction and vision....a quality to do the right thing must be at the core... so that honesty and openness are expressed and communicated regardless of the outcome.

When leaders assume a mentor/coaching role they automatically step out of the hierarchy and control style. Transparency begins and will create a more ethical and value-based workplace, where people will feel good about being involved. It will be wonderful to watch a new generation of leaders make possible an environment where talented and creative people have lots of opportunity and will be assured of fair treatment. Aligning yourself with your true companions to do work that is naturally harmonious will truly allow for great things to happen.
LEAD THE WAY...follow your true path...
