Tommy Kramer Tip #225 – How To Zoom In On The Difference Between Openness And Transparency

Being open is different, and better.  If you’re unsure where the line is between openness and transparency, just remember this:  Nobody goes to a party to watch a guy fight with his wife.  You’re in the Entertainment business.  Some things SHOULDN’T be revealed.
