The truth WOW such simple words and yet so sought out for everywhere. What is it about truth that amazes human beings? Let us start with business partners in any organization. If one cannot be honest to the other disaster will surely follow.
I have found out in my years of practice training and coaching executives that when I ask the question;Tell me what truth means to you? The stories I hear are crazy to me because a partnership in a business is like a marriage.
Many experts agree that trust
is perhaps the most important element of a harmonious, synergistic and
efficient work environment and personal relationships.
Organizations that have trust among
employees are usually successful, those that don't frequently are not.
So, management often asks, "how can we build trust in the workforce,
and how can we avoid losing it?" Well, it all starts at the very top,
since trustfulness - and trustworthiness - can exist only if top
management sets the example, and then builds that example into every
department and unit.
The ingredients are as follows;
Truth
Trust
Communication
If anyone of those three are missing the relationship in business should end sooner then later simply because there is no trust or truth and somewhere down the lone it will end anyway and perhaps in a very unfriendly way.
If you look at organizations successful of both today and yesterday, we find their leaders
fostered these three principles of creating trust. Look back at some of past histories leaders(Augustus Caesar, Oliver Cromwell and George
Washington), These great leaders built
trust,truth and great communication among their superiors, peers and subordinates, and it was this
that spurred success and greatness for themselves, their units,
alliances and companies.
Now of course lets go into one of my favorite mentors that I have studied for over fourteen years now;
Cookie mogul Wally Amos is fond of quoting the saying, “The mind is like a parachute. It functions best when opened.” When you open your mind to the possibilities, objectively analyze information, and refuse to allow your personal preferences and biases to influence your judgment, you will be able to perceive great truths that have been overlooked by others. A closed mind, though, will cause you to miss out on some of life’s greatest offerings.
My son what an inspiration of truth and trust |
If you find yourself disputing the facts, or
if you keep attempting to revise them to support your beliefs, ask
yourself, “Why am I so unwilling to accept this information? Am I being
logical, or am I simply allowing my emotions to cloud my judgment?” The
worst mistake you may ever make is trying to persuade yourself to accept
a false truth. It is inappropriate to try to fool others, but when you
fool yourself, disaster is sure to follow.
Here is a short video that will help you reach your goals. Let me know what you think.
