Honest or soft-spoken: What role does honesty play as a leadership factor?

#231 – Honesty

„I think we need to be honest and authentic as leaders. Yes, absolutely. We need authenticity as a leadership principle in our company.”
We often hear statements like this or similar when we start to transform our clients’ leadership culture.

So far, so good and so true. But the dilemma is: Everyone wants honesty, but no one can handle the truth.

Some leaders preach a desire for honesty but have never admitted a mistake of their own.

This is the opposite of honesty. But this behavior happens, perhaps more often than we think.

But how do we deal with honesty then? And What role does honesty play as a leadership factor?

I’ll tell you in today’s episode. Thank you for listening.
