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:
