When Transparency Undermines Leadership | Balancing Honesty and Authority | Coastal Edge Consulting

Transparency is often positioned as the foundation of strong leadership. We’re encouraged to be open, vulnerable, and radically honest in order to build trust. But what happens when transparency creates confusion instead of clarity? In this video, I explore the tension between authenticity and professional boundaries. Drawing on leadership experience, I unpack where openness strengthens team culture—and where it can unintentionally undermine authority or increase instability. You’ll learn: Why radical honesty is not always synonymous with effective leadership How vulnerability can both build trust and transfer emotional burden The difference between collaborative dialogue and decision communication Practical guardrails for thoughtful disclosure How to maintain credibility while remaining authentic Leadership transparency requires judgment, timing, and role clarity. This conversation is for leaders navigating restructuring, organizational uncertainty, high-pressure environments, or any situation where the impulse to “share everything” feels aligned with integrity. If you’ve ever wrestled with how much to say—and when—this video will help you think more intentionally about the impact of your communication.
