- Say what you mean and mean what you say – communicate in an open, clear and honest fashion
- Present both sides of each issue to encourage objectivity, share your rationale behind your decisions
- If you have a personal bias or a conflict of interest, make it known
- Don’t shoot the messenger when someone tells you the truth. Thank them for their honesty and treat the information provided as a gift.
- Admit a mistake or an error in judgment
- Finally, always be truthful and honest with yourself
What would happen if lying were the norm? No one would trust one another, leaders wouldn’t be credible, and the news would be meaningless. Be honest!
