I work mostly with smaller groups and my presence usually isn't invisible. And yet it does feel like there is a quality of transparency that seems to easily transfer to others as an awareness and acceptance that they too have access to this presence.
Interesting -- in my work in the software field, I find "transparency" of a team's work process to be an essential (and difficult) goal to work on, but in that case "transparency" is almost synonymous with "visibility" -- that is, providing visibility into what's actually going on. Most folks have a tendency to hide their work from view; perhaps out of fear, or embarrassment, but basically a reluctance to show one's work before it's "done". (One of the things we work on is how to get to "done" more often, by taking smaller steps.) I find it fascinating that "invisibility" got you thinking about "transparency", which got me thinking about "visibility"!
