TrainingBriefs® Being Transparent

New Micro-Learning! The value of honesty in business has obvious and subtle implications. Unfortunately, there are times when individuals are asked to be less than totally honest in order to paint a brighter financial picture.  In this course, you’ll observe two coworkers discussing an upcoming presentation to the board of directors. The boss is pressuring his subordinate to paint a picture that is brighter than it actually is.

Always communicate the truth as you best know it – not in a way that is misleading or deceptive. Stakeholders or shareholders make decisions on how to move forward based on communications. A person’s intention is critical. Being wrong is not the same as lying.
