Transparency Contract ©: Mea$uring Your Relationships
(Originally Published in Roast Magazine September 2007)

Transparency = The full, accurate, and timely disclosure of information.
Contract = A binding agreement between two or more persons that is enforceable by law.
Relationship = A state of connectedness between people (especially an emotional connection).
