Bought into that 'radical transparency' culture strategy after 6 months of pushback

I was dead set against sharing quarterly revenue numbers with our whole team of 40 people but after a rocky Q2 where rumors were killing morale, my COO convinced me to try it and turnover dropped 22% in 3 months - has anyone else found a leadership practice they swore would fail actually worked?

Honestly I had the exact same thing happen with our weekly all hands meetings. I was convinced everyone would hate them and just zone out but my team lead pushed for them. We started doing a 15 minute standup on Monday mornings where we go over wins from last week and what we're tackling this week. At first I thought it was a huge waste of time but after a month I noticed people actually started talking to each other more and problems got solved way faster. The biggest thing was we had this one engineer who never spoke up in emails but in those meetings he'd casually mention a bug he found and it saved us like two weeks of work. That's when I totally changed my mind about it.

Yeah except standups and all hands are different things.
