Would you classify yourself as an honest person? As a leader I hope so. However, being honest doesn’t mean being brutal, or uncaring in what we say. Sometimes we may think that being honest means we have to “say it like it is”, and there’s truth in that. But we can say anything in a caring way, being understanding and compassionate even while being truthful. As an honest person we don’t hide behind half-truths or deception, we maintain an attitude of doing what is best for others – in a gentle way. Think about it this week, how can I be even more caring while still being honest?
