"GovFresh at One Year: Talking with Luke Fretwell"
Your host on OpenGovRadio is Stephen Buckley, and his guest will be Luke Fretwell, creator and operator of GovFresh, which "works to inspire government-citizen collaboration and build a more engaged democracy" and features "Gov 2.0, open gov news, guides, TV, tech, people and official U.S. government feeds, all in one place", including GovFreshTV and MilFresh. Luke grew up, worked and lived in the Washington, DC, area before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area.
In addition to listening to the show on your computer, you can add to the discussion with your comments and questions. There are three ways for you to do that:
A. Post it, now, as a "Comment" at the end of this posting (scroll down to "green box"). It must be concise, and focused on the Open Government Initiative (or else it will not appear). Commentors do not need to identify themselves. They may also choose to ...
B. Email a comment/question confidentially to your host Stephen Buckley, who fully understands the risk of raising unwelcome questions within the government. Mr. Buckley can ask the question for you, but if you want to "call in", then he needs your phone number in order to see your incoming call.
C. Call-in "live" to (917) 388-4210 with your comment/question. However, preference will be given to callers who have already provided their question/comment by posting on this blog.

6. Transparent Leadership by Roger Schwarz (Government Executive magazine, 4/7/10)
"When you are transparent, you create better results and relationships because others understand your thinking. People always are trying to find the meaning of actions, especially leaders' behaviors. When you fail to be transparent, you increase the chance that others will come up with their own theories about your intentions and motives - theories that often will differ from yours.7. Notes from Open Government Directive Workshop (#4 in Series) held 4/28/10 at USDA HQ
