Transparency means different things to different people.
Some people believe that transparency means establishing, maintaining, and growing connection to another person.
Some people believe that transparency means collaboration with another person or with a group of people.
Some people believe that transparency means authenticity, a species of “being real” or “keeping it real” in language, attitude, approach to an issues, tone or topic.
Some people believe that transparency means honesty and integrity—all of the time rather than some of the time.
Some people believe that transparency means refusing to “groom” a social appearance for the sake of other people, the crowd, or the audience.
Some people believe that transparency means being responsible and accountable—particularly when no one else in the group, the team, or the organization, will be.
Some people believe that transparency means acting with faith and hope in a future that could be, rather than complaining about the present that is.
The question on transparency is not one of who sees transparency through what lens, instead the question on transparency focuses around whether or not transparency matters—and in what context.
