Description

Jason shares why transparency matters so much to him, starting with Elevate's transparency core value: being open about who we are, how we feel, and what we think, and sharing the information that helps the team work together. He explains how he approaches people who are open and professional with him, and how hard it is to connect when someone holds things back. He then makes the case that most struggles with health, relationships, work, and problem-solving get heavier when we keep them to ourselves, and that saying things out loud brings help and relief. He closes with examples of transparent teams, from open company metrics to visible schedules, and a story about the self-acceptance he saw at a Tony Robbins event.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Elevate's transparency core value, and why it comes before trust and teamwork
• Why unspoken problems, in your health, relationships, mental health, and work, tend to grow, and how speaking them aloud helps you get support
• How transparent teams look in practice: open company metrics, personality profiles and "this is me" documents, and visible Takt, Last Planner, and Scrum systems
• Why no leader can read minds, and why advocating for yourself is part of building trust
• How self-acceptance and openness show up in high-performing groups

What is one thing you've been keeping to yourself that you could share with someone who can help?
