Written as a business leadership fable, ""The Transparent Leader"" is the story of a smart emerging leader, Stephanie Marcus, as she navigates the challenging world of business. Fortunately, Steph meets Lou Donaldson, a public relations CEO near the end of his career, at a local gym where she works out daily.

Throughout the story, Steph learns about clear leadership communication as she also adapts and changes and becomes a more transparent - clear and open - leader. At the same time, she learns Lou's personal story, which helps her fully appreciate his wisdom.
