The hedge fund Bridgewater Associates has a very similar philosophy (some would say a cult[1]); they call it &quot;radical transparency&quot;.  It&#x27;s a major component of Ray Dalio&#x27;s &quot;Principles&quot;, which is a 123 page manuscript[2] that prospective candidates and new joiners are advised to read and absorb.<p>Not that Bridgewater should be the ultimate test case for this way of operating but it&#x27;s a notoriously unforgiving place to work.  The turnover rate there is 25% in the first 18 months[3].<p>It seems you just have to have really thick skin (or be really jaded) to be able to handle &quot;radical candor&quot; or &quot;radical transparency&quot;.  Furthermore, it&#x27;s evidently really tricky to avoid devolving into pure invective.  (I guess, in terms of Kim&#x27;s graph, it&#x27;s hard to stay high enough on the Y axis as you drift to the right on the X axis.)<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;nymag.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;business&#x2F;wallstreet&#x2F;ray-dalio-2011-4&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;nymag.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;business&#x2F;wallstreet&#x2F;ray-dalio-2011-4&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bwater.com&#x2F;Uploads&#x2F;FileManager&#x2F;Principles&#x2F;Bridgewater-Associates-Ray-Dalio-Principles.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bwater.com&#x2F;Uploads&#x2F;FileManager&#x2F;Principles&#x2F;Bridgew...</a><p>[3] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ai-cio.com&#x2F;channels&#x2F;story.aspx?id=3735&amp;page=3&amp;p=3" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ai-cio.com&#x2F;channels&#x2F;story.aspx?id=3735&amp;page=3&amp;p=3</a>
