“One of the most difficult habits for leaders to learn is transparency. It can make a leader feel vulnerable. Sharing the good and bad with your team is so important. You don’t have to share every little detail. Today’s leadership at various levels and institutions have built a barrier to trust through lack of transparency. Lead by example and manage expectations by keeping everyone in the loop. I call that integrity and fairness!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
