Flashing on Transparency - RecruitingBlogs.com

"'The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that, you've got it made' Jean Giraudoux (French diplomat and novelist).

Transparency is just another buzzword that means very little and has virtually no bearing on how people actually behave.

Transparency and authenticity are the latest attempt by some very earnest do-gooders to make accountability fashionable. But people who are trying to avoid being accountable don't care much about fashion, unless they can use it to their own advantage.

They may be wearing a see through raincoat, but I guarantee there's boxers, or at least, a thong underneath. And don’t get me started on Spanx."
