Openness is key to building strong connections with your teams. The stronger the connections, the more engaged and committed your teams will be, to achieving the goals and objectives.
Openness make you approachable as a leader, which give people the feeling that they are working with you and not for you.

Openness builds trust and confidence in the leader, and help you appear more humble.

Be open, be approachable, be a better leader
