Chapter Chapter 5 in Transparency in Business, 2023, pp 111-134 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter reviews key concepts and findings from the vast authentic leadership and relational transparency literatures that privilege honesty, self-awareness, truthfulness in communication practices, humility, relational alignment, and concordant behaviors as traits and practices contributing to transparent leadership and leading to significant positive downstream consequences. Critiques of these literatures are also examined in this chapter, which argue that mainstream treatments of transparent leaders tend to be overly simplistic, one-dimensional, static, decontextualized, unrealistic and positively biased, detracting from academic rigor, and direct practical application.
