Corporate Transparancies

Which is better to describe yourself: closed or open? Secretive or transparent? Store the information meetings held or are happy to share information? In a world that is so dynamic, as now, what do you think will be more successful as a leader? We witnessed our world changed rapidly with the development of information technology. World to be so "open", people were very easy to access any information, anytime, anywhere. Changes of this era also gave rise to as "natural selection" a new individual who is not ready to "open" and "opening up", becoming more prone to "out".

Sometimes we really can have various reasons for maintaining a closed stance. My friend said to give up much told about the plan, businesses, and state enterprises to their partners, because it turns its partners plan to divulge it to competitors. Yes, we can certainly understand the feelings bitter of our friend, because he felt manipulated. We do have a smart pick and choose the information that needs to be shared and could be useful. However, what happens when we are busy closing down or withhold information, although facebook, twitter 'and several other social media are increasingly widespread, it is an' open source '. The information we are trying to hide and hold-resistant, sometimes it can be accessed by others. So, in the information age as it is now if we still have the option to be mysterious and do not open up access for others to know about 'who we are'? Imagine our gap with men or our successors, if we are not transparent. Can we 'different world' with them and let them grope when they replace us? Provide opportunities for people to be mysterious to guess, one could even perceive the attitudes, thoughts and our views. In contrast, with an open attitude at the same time we can actually do a "me marketing". Do not be surprised if we see the Jakarta gubernatorial candidate suddenly open the lines of facebook and twitter.

Opening up is to let others know about what we believe to be from within, not just the surface. Automatic, private events, what we say, and our habits were highlighted by people outside the family. Self-disclosure can not we do this in an instant, can not be imposed. This is why we need to also practice to open up and make ourselves transparent to the elegant.

Build and Community Association
When we are open, we automatically "invite" others with the same ideas and thoughts to join, even up to form a community. Look at how Obama or Governor candidates speak of concepts and ideas, so as to form and build a community of followers of "advocates" strong. An owner or manager of any small company actually had to start thinking that every institution is a community full of value. That is why, as a leader, he needs to voice their opinions, so that the community can move and grow. We can see how a country Movement on Teaching is not hard to get the "creme de la creme" intellectuals who are willing to sacrifice himself, left the job and followed his heart to join in a variety of movements to promote education in Indonesia. All because of the value that is communicated with an open, clear and crisp.

A management expert said that this phenomenon is "The New Normal", in which the packaging engineering does not work anymore. Openness and clear controls that keep people motivated in an organization. Discipline is run not by "how", but rather because "why" he explained. Management experts and Fine Kanter likens the present disclosure as being on the ocean floor in the form of foam. Although a lot of material through the body, he can still survive and remain transparent, because it has strong ties with the foundation. In an era where the 'brain' is more powerful than other human functions, the ability to translate what we feel, believe and desire in the light of the presentation is the way that we are always able to build strong ties with the organization's values.

"Listen" before "Talking"
What we believe, we know, and we want, not necessarily the same as what is perceived as an outsider against us. This is why, to open up always starts with a "spoken", but rather to "hear". Well-known companies like Zappos loud echoes the style and culture in their organizations, are very familiar with its customers and truly understand what customers need. This is an example that being transparent is not just opening up, but preceded by the attitude and proactive effort to know who we are talking to.

Openings are not the same as an unimportance speak. Other people can surely be able to feel when forced openness. Intention to open and transparent needs based on sincere intention to get closer, the subordinates, customers or the public. Before we introduce the principle of who we are and tells us, surely we must know with whom we spoke, you know the actual circumstances and conditions, understand the needs of the target "audience" we. Will automatically open also requires us to respond, respond, respond to others, so it was not being "cocky" or take a position in one direction. We must realize that the only way to survive in an era of non-personal Faceless and unfold this is more of what we think, what we aims and dreams to the people around us.
