The opposite of secrecy is not transparency, but safely trusting.
That is, some things are hidden, but not actively so. I don't need to know how hard my peers are working. Or what they are thinking. Or if they think the project will succeed. Or when they work, for that matter.
I trust that if they need or want help, they can ask. I also trust that if I offer help, it is in good faith and it can be turned down. I could be wrong that they need or want any help.
Not all interactions have to be interventions.
This is not that some things don't belong at work. It all depends on the trust in the group. I agree that more trust is generally better. But sometimes that is fostered by not forcing a spot light on everyone.
