Therefore, says Laloux, it\u2019s imperative that organizations demonstrate their trust by allowing everyone to act responsibly without a system of controls\u2014in particular, doing away with the compartmentalization of information. Laloux argues that <strong>total transparency is essential in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-is-trust-earned\/\">building trust<\/a> between an organization and its members.<\/strong> Trust allows workers to grow, gives them a sense of freedom, and challenges them to lead others by example.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/principles-life-and-work\"><em>Principles: Life and Work<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/who-is-ray-dalio\/\">Ray Dalio<\/a> encourages total transparency while admitting that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/principles-life-and-work\/chapter-6#short-term-painful-long-term-helpful\">it can be painful in the short term<\/a>. He also spells out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/principles-life-and-work\/chapter-6#exceptions-to-extreme-transparency\">several scenarios in which full transparency isn\u2019t appropriate<\/a>, such as when information is private or personal, or when it puts the long-term interests of the company or its clients at risk.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit of organizational trust and transparency is that it allows every employee to see the organization from the CEO\u2019s point of view. Keeping information on a \u201cneed to know\u201d basis infantilizes workers by suggesting they can\u2019t be trusted. Transparency lets employees honestly evaluate their own teams and others while increasing their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-endowment-effect\/\">sense of ownership<\/a> of the company\u2019s successes and failures. (Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/no-rules-rules\"><em>No Rules Rules<\/em><\/a>, CEO Reed Hastings identifies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/no-rules-rules\/part-3\">several key areas in which transparency is especially important<\/a> for building trust and accountability\u2014financial information, any possibility of downsizing, and admitting to leadership\u2019s mistakes. According to Hastings, this level of transparency breeds confidence and loyalty in addition to trust.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laloux writes that visionary companies discard the illusion that any one person can control all the needs of the group. Instead, <strong>by distributing power, they make use of the whole organization\u2019s intelligence while forcing tough decisions on individuals and teams who otherwise would have been told what to do<\/strong>. While this can be intimidating, it also lets workers come up with solutions far better than those from executives unfamiliar with their day-to-day work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Increasing everyone\u2019s sense of responsibility for the organization\u2019s well-being can also reduce fault-finding and blame. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-oz-principle\"><em>The Oz Principle<\/em><\/a>, Roger Connors, Tom Smith, and Craig Hickman argue that in general, we need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-oz-principle\/part-1-chapters-1-3#redefining-accountability\">reassess our definition of accountability<\/a> by identifying how we contribute to situations. This will empower us with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/a-sense-of-agency\/\">sense of agency<\/a> that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-oz-principle\/chapters-6-7#step-4-take-action\">lets us take action to address any given problem<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does your company operate on a &#8220;need to know&#8221; basis?
