Organizations,
businesses and politicians
often communicate appearing to care or give you the inside scoop. The problem develops when those words serve to
explain little, prompting confusion or mistrust.
There’s a fine
line between passing information and communicating in a vacuum.
When
addressing the masses don’t presume we are dumb enough to believe “warm fuzzy words” without substance or
action.
Anger,
frustration, blame and mistrust increases due to spin, half-truths or rhetoric.
Eventually customers, employees and voters find it easier to discount anything written
or spoken as truth.
Unions, Tea
Parties, Occupy Wall Street, and other groups of
people have been formed as a result of mistrust. Acts of Civil
War have their roots inspired by this powerful cowardly deed.
When a lack of transparency becomes
the focal point, secrecy only serves to breath disconnect of epic proportions to
your audience.
It’s far
better to be transparent, honest and live up to your written or spoken
intentions.
Anything less, is hardly worth our
time.
How do you feel about this issue? Do
you give people, organizations and politicians the benefit of the doubt? Where
do you draw the line? Who exemplifies transparency? I’d love to hear your
comments.
Until
We Meet Again,

It is so disappointing that so many leaders have become so ambitious for their own personal success that they have totally abandoned integrity in the quest for power. When what is right matters more to the citizens than what they get from their leaders, perhaps we will get leaders that are righteous.
ReplyDeleteJim, I tried to comment and it disappeared so if this is repeating just delete.
ReplyDeleteI don't think enough can be said about integrity and character. What we look for in a leader has had much to do with what their power will mean to us. What we should be looking for is a the kind of leader that has a clear understanding of right and wrong with a commitment to follow that regardless of what it means for their personal careers. Those are the kind of men that founded this country who put their very lives on the line every day and paid the price that we may enjoy the comfort purchased by their sacrifice. Don't we owe, at the very least, honesty to the next generation that they may attempt a better result than the one we pass on to them?
Well said!Very strong points to make. THANK YOU!
