The Transparency Edge

A proven tool for sharpening one's competitive edge

Today's leading organizations have seized on the concept of transparency as the key to gaining the confidence of investors, employees, and customers--and gaining profits. In The Transparency Edge, leadership expert Barbara Pagano demonstrates that transparency is more than an excellent policy--it is a powerful management skill that managers can learn and use to make themselves and their organizations more competitive.

Presenting the nine behaviors that every successful leader uses to gain a transparency edge, Pagano shows readers how to use these techniques to build loyalty, gain trust, and establish an impeccable reputation for integrity. She also shows how this nothingto- hide approach enables organizations and their leaders to:

• Make decisions more efficiently and execute them more effectively
• Speed up operations
• Identify problems sooner and solve them faster
• Build trust and collaboration within the organization
• Establish a higher level of credibility
