Full participation in an improve session also presents the risk of a loss of autonomy. People worry that admitting to any inadequacies invites the boss to take back control of their job, leaving them with less freedom. Therefore, instead of operating with full transparency, allowing the rest of the team to see into the inner workings of our jobs, divisions, and departments, we tend to reveal things selectively, offering just enough transparency to reassure others that everything is OK and under control.
