Jocko Underground: Full Transparency is a Violation of Privacy.

This is the Jocko Underground podcast number 168 sitting here with Echo Charles going to address some issues from the troopers out there in the world. What do we got? Let's go. First question. I'm an executive at a large corporation with several senior managers reporting to me.

After months of feedback and coaching, I removed a manager from his role due to performance issues and reassigned him. to a position better suited to his technical and leadership skills. This was a deliberate decision, not spontaneous. Our organizational effectiveness specialist recommends briefing the senior leadership team on why the change was made to maintain trust and prevent rumors. I believe the specifics are private between me

the manager and his new boss and that sharing could undermine his credibility or set a precedent. How should I balance transparency with the team to maintain trust and morale while respecting the manager's privacy and taking ownership of this decision? So I do think it's important to explain what's going on, right? If we don't explain what's going on, then we get rumors and the rumors are not going to be good. So I think it's important to explain what's going on, but I would I would focus on the the reason that the change was made and I would more specifically I would focus on the positive reasons that this change was made.
