. I can understand that transparency is important and a lot of people have worked on providing those, but I don't see a reason why everything should be publicly visible. Sometimes people are cautious of speaking the truth of what they really think in a public forum. Especially when things are interpreted the wrong way.

It's difficult having transparency in an open forum when there are sensitive topics needing to be discussed, but avoiding transparency just causes even more problems down the line as we can see here.

I'm a witness and was not "invited" into these discussions. Now I have to filter through comments of those who were to try to determine what was discussed. The whole secrecy approach just makes leadership look even more frayed and lost. If we are claiming to be transparent while not acting transparent then we're just deceiving ourselves and destroying any sense of being a true team.
