Spoiler alert: I think an open door policy is a bunch of hogwash in a barrel of baloney.

I talk about how transparent communication is destroyed when you throw up barriers and why having an open door policy is really a self-centered, borderline egotistical move.

Some interesting topics that are discussed:

That time I walked through a door. While it was still closed.
How the term “Open Door Policy” came into being.
The intention of the so-called policy
The brutal reality of an open door policy
What you need to do instead
This episode is full of useful information that, at the very least, will be good fodder for your next cocktail party. At it’s best, it will have you rethink the way you are communicating with your team.
