My latest blog post where I look at the growing gap in accountability among startups and early leaders.

Read any employee review on Glassdoor.com or elsewhere and you’ll undoubtedly see a consistent refrain from current and former employees to management – “Be More Transparent.” You’ll also hear the same thing from advisory and corporate boards, albeit a bit more pointed: “Give us the full story damnit!”

There is no greater challenge than turning around a business. Ask any leader who has been in this position – from Meg Whitman to Jack Welch – and they will tell you it’s an arduous process that if not done correctly can have disastrous consequences for all involved.
