Telling the Truth….

Sitting at my desk, I’ve been perusing what might make the workplace a funplace.  Or minimally, a place we want to go to and get creative, get working and dreaming about what’s in front of me and what’s next?  In order to do that, could be be upfront with,

“I do this well and that marginally.  You??
“I do research well and the interviews are not my strong suit. Let’s see if we can’t share talents and figure this marketing plan from a systems perspective.”

Could this work? and, jf so, tell me how.  Give the steps from #1 to #10.  Describe and demonstrate.  What I like to imagine happening is this: we flow to work, our minds are on before we get there and we’re excited as to what might show up and how we will want to go with it or not.  We have teams, the manager doesn’t have to have all the answers, and the group is cohesive.  Humility runs rampant.

In a learning organization, one that is prized by the management and held up to a gold standard, it starts immediately to drawing the picture/mission statement  and demonstrating traits that we have found to be profoundly important within our teams. In scriptwriting, the writer is always told “Show, don’t tell.”

Let’s be the Truth.  Exhibit the Truth.  Illicit the Truth. Have faith that in telling the truth….it may just set you free.

I’m game.
