There's two categories of responses on this page: 1. people who have never ran a business and been fully transparent 2. people who've done it and recommend selective transparency because of the consequences

haha

Ah yes, the wisdom of MBAs and other career managers, which is working out so well elsewhere :P

The response trend seems to be based on personal experience rather than MBA/career manager.

I'm neither an MBA nor a career manager (started biz out of college with $300, 5 years lowest paid employee, few mil run rate now, no investors) and my transparency experience has been both positive and negative. So I only do transparency that (I think) leads to positive outcomes now.
