In this episode, Jordan and Ron Carucci discuss: The current paradox regarding great leadership Ron's 10-year study on honesty-What is correlated to telling the truth How leaders can be honest in our current climate-where everyone needs to feel safe The impact of border wars on honesty and commitment Key Takeaways If you want your people to do their best and give all their energy to work, your job is to make sure they never doubt that they matter and they belong. When you say you are one thing and really are another, you are promoting duplicity and are essentially saying that it's okay to lie People are more likely to be able to truly see each other's side and understand one another if there is a platform where they can talk face to face and be open about each one's ideas. Ask yourself- For whom is there not a level playing field? Whose voices don't you include? What bullies are allowed to persist because they get results? Who is hungry for a chance to shine but hasn't asked for it? What jobs are privileged? "We're in a trust recession. In no period of our history has trust ever been so difficult to earn and so easily lost." — Ron Carucci Click here to download "How Honest Is My Team?"
