I am of the philosophy that I want everyone at every level of the organization to know what the plan is and what we hope to achieve from it. In business and most especially in war, things can change at a moments notice and it may not always be possible to communicate new directives to those following your orders. In knowing your mind, they can change direction to achieve the goal if difficulties should arise. The reason I disagree with full disclosure is that people talk and whether its battle or war, surprise and speed are the key elements of victory. Ideally then, one should let the organization know the general direction and the aim of its pursuits but only relay the specifics of a given misson or effort moments before the understaking.
