As the saying goes: <b>Sunlight is a great disinfectant.</b> It's amazing to see what silly things really happen in companies. It's tough to discuss some of them because of various sensitivities. But my job is to help people fix those problems. Transparency helps in many cases. Of course, not all. But in those cases where it can -- it's pretty simple to implement. Just present the data on a list and allow people to edit it. Make it a list that people either want to get on, or get off of. But it should not be a "black-list" -- it should just be a helpful fact-list. Preferably sorted in a way the nudges the right behavior. Gil Mary

It’s amazing to see what silly things really happen in companies. It’s tough to discuss some of them because of various sensitivities. But my job is to help people fix those problems. Transparency helps in many cases. Of course, not all. But in those cases where it can — it’s pretty simple to implement. Just present the data on a list and allow people to edit it. Make it a list that people either want to get on, or get off of. But it should not be a “black-list” — it should just be a helpful fact-list.

It's amazing what corporate behaviors can flourish in dark corners and under rocks. Once you shine a bright light on those activities, you make change possible. - Mary Gil –
