While transparency has many benefits, it also comes with its own set of challenges:
- Over-sharing: There is a fine line between transparency and over-sharing. Leaders must be careful not to share sensitive information that could harm the organization or its stakeholders. - Misinterpretation: Information can sometimes be misinterpreted, leading to confusion or unnecessary panic among employees. - Maintaining Balance: Leaders need to balance transparency with discretion. Knowing what to share and when to share it is crucial.
