One thing that all managers share is the need to build trust among their team, which is especially difficult if managers are off-site or operating behind a closed-door office.
At TransPerfect, transparency is a core value. We coach managers to use transparency to further team trust, and this starts by having an open-door policy for escalating issues.
Transparency also tends to foster an environment of healthy internal competition, which in turn improves performance. We do this by sharing statistics across the organization so leaders can benchmark against each other and drive business success.
