For more than 15 years I've worked shoulder-to-shoulder with software engineers from around the globe.

I've experienced how developing yourself as a next generation leader in software engineering can be filled with ambiguity.

So, in collaboration with Alexis Monville, I've combined my writing and coaching skills to package a leadership development experience into a book.

Thanks Ron. It seems that by going through this exercise as a team, you're addressing that problem of "common vision of success" that you introduced at the start of the article because doing this exercise _brings_ everyone to the same page. It's also worth noting that this is #teambuilding - take your team and peers out to lunch and share what you did with your peers for some extra #inclusivity and #transparency.

Ben, thanks for showing that there's another side to transparency - how it is received. I can see how that touches on the other values of The Open Organisation. De-weaponising and fostering compassionate transparency could come in the form of Community as you mentioned "we don't do that here". Through Collaboration "what can we learn here?" Through Inclusivity "how does this add to / change our understanding?" Or through Adaptability "how should we change now?"

Great topic that certainly leads to a lot of other implications - as other commenters have mentioned.
