Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. realize my question wasn't so clear. I am wondering more about sharing can ever be too much, in an open culture- whether in the interests of trust, there are any restricted lines around information sharing, that ought to be respected

By way of backgroubd or context for my question- I am involved in an exciting process of helping to shape a sustainable, thriving culture for our entrepreneurial, Gen 2, family business.

It is clear that transparency, connection, caring, empowerment, alignment of values, purpose and passion.. will be important stepping stones as we lay the ground for the way forward.
What is less clear to me, is whether there are restrictions to sharing that ought to be respected. ( ie. Is there diminishing trust when sharing beyond certain boundaries)-

My inclination is to share my awareness of own imperfections, blind spots, challenges, very openly. Firstly, I believe it helps those around me understand in what ways I might need supports. And secondly, equally importantly it sends the message that its ok to be imperfectly human, to have blindspots or challenges and to need help. In fact, I’d prefer to have people that know their limitations and feel comfortable sharing that, then wearing masks to prop themselves up in inauthentic ways.

I've gotten feedback recently that people ( fairly new team) were surprised about my openness and I”m not yet sure how to make use of the feedback.

I’m not sure whether it is a function of something they are not accustomed to from leadership-and are reacting in familiar ways from their own experience in cultures of concealment, where people prop their fragile, concealed selves up thru gossip, put downs and politics- or whether I am being insensitive to necessary boundaries between professional and personal, that ought to be maintained, even in an open, transparent, caring culture. My sharing is not so much about my personal life- but about my own professional blind spots, which comes out through humor, in stories I share.
I'm interested in your thoughts
Thx
Lori
