About this title

Synopsis

It seems that over the past few years these words didn't mean very much. From Enron to WorldCom, corporate America was rocked with scandal after scandal. Employees lost their savings and jobs, investors lost their shirts, and the public lost their confidence in big business -- the foundation of this nation's well-being.

In his new book, The Transparent Leader, Herb Baum, CEO of the Dial Corporation, brings us back to the basics of transparency and good corporate behavior. In his folksy, down-to-earth style, Baum reminds us of the way things used to be, and he teaches corporate executives how to be transparent leaders and in turn create transparent companies. Using examples from his experience at Dial, Campbell Soup Company, and Quaker State, Baum shows readers:

The Power of Transparency -- the crucial components of a transparent organization, including the qualities of transparent leaders and employees and how they can benefit your company

The Pillars of Transparency -- integrity, honesty, quality corporate governance, and effective communication

How to execute transparency in the organization through real-life examples.

By applying these ideas to your own work life, you will become an open and transparent leader, setting an example for the employees in your organization to follow. The transparent leader is the cornerstone of a transparent and in turn successful company.

In this day and age, the only way to succeed in the business world is to stick to the rules of transparency. And if you don't, bad business practices will eventually return to haunt you and your organization.

Store Description

We are a husband-and-wife team united by a lifelong passion for books. Our journey into bookselling began in 2003, sparked when one of us left graduate school to follow her dream of becoming a teacher. To help fund this new chapter, she started by selling her college textbooks online, and from there, our adventure into bookselling quickly blossomed. Our seller name, digger-dogger, reflects our deep love for dogs and is inspired by the playful nickname of one of our beloved Old English Sheepdogs. This spirited dog famously burrowed beneath our backyard deck, creating a cool and shady den to relax in?her "digger-dogger" antics becoming part of family lore. Over the past two decades, we've dedicated ourselves to curating a unique collection with a strong focus on non-fiction titles, especially rare, out-of-print, and specialized-topic books. We take pride in connecting our customers with the knowledge and stories they've been searching for, from academic subjects and professional resources to niche interests and historical explorations.
