About the Book
Openness can trump the social and cultural norms embedded within us. If you want to have a truly equitable organization, workplace or project, people need to feel a sense of ownership and agency in your community. An open leader needs to be a forcing function for innovation. Understanding the motivation and intention of your colleagues will help you work not only for the collective, but be a better leader as you do.
