This document discusses transparency in organizations. It begins by defining transparency as openness, communication, and accountability, where others can easily see what actions are performed. Transparency matters because people need information to trust and follow an organization's leadership. Younger generations especially value transparency more. Areas where transparency is important include finances, processes, personnel, academic decisions, and change processes. The document discusses increasing transparency through sharing thinking, research, and budgets. It also notes potential risks but argues transparency advances vision and builds trust. Overall, the document promotes transparency as a way to engage communities and retain members through openness and understanding of organizational priorities.

Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Agenda Today
• Updates since last time
• What is transparency?
• Why does it matter?
• What does it look like?
• Where can it take place?
3. WHAT IS IT?
Transparency… implies openness,
communication, and
accountability…Transparency is operating in
such a way that it is easy for others to see what
actions are performed. It has been defined
simply as
"the perceived quality of
intentionally shared information.”
-Schnackenberg, A., Tomlinson, E., 2014. Organizational Transparency: A New Perspective on Managing Trust in
Organization-Stakeholder Relationships. Journal of Management DOI: 10.1177/0149206314525202.
4. WHY?
“Like authenticity, transparency is not defined by
you as a leaders, but by the people you want to
trust you and your organization. How much
information do they need in order to follow you,
trust you with their money or business?”
- Charlene Li
Open Leadership (pg. 193)
How does this relate to the culture of your school
and its leadership today and in the past?
7. Community
Collaboration
What has to happen for
a community to co-
invest in shared goals
and assets?
• Clarity of purpose
• Understanding of
what it takes to
achieve it
• All reading from the
same playbook
• Understanding roles
and the nature of the
teamwork
• What else?

16. “Our surveys of 20,000 synagogue members have shown that the key
driver of synagogue membership is the perceived value for the dollar
of membership. What most strongly correlates to perceived value for
the dollar?
Budget transparency.
When leadership doesn’t share the true cost of programs, and uses
funds to subsidize programs as it sees fit, not only do recipients
undervalue the program, but they also feel a disconnect with the
synagogue that ultimately causes them to the congregation. Including
members in the conversation about budget priorities and explaining
the rationale behind expenses is a great step to retaining members and
ensuring financial sustainability.”
-Sacha Litman, Measuring Success

Sustainability”
