Transparency is a relatively new buzz word being used to evoke the belief that a statement being made is true as well as its associated motives. The dictionary defines transparency as "capable of being seen through"; in a business sense transparency can be defined as being without guile or concealment, open, frank and candid - in other words not just shrink wrapped!
In order to create a transparent organisation leaders at the top must believe in and support a culture of candour buy not demonstrating dishonesty and discrimination in any part of the daily processes and functions of the organisation.
