An Often Not-So-Honest Environment
ByIn business today, or in any relationship, are you finding that people are not really saying what is on their minds? Do you find that the environment is often not conducive for them to feel comfortable sharing their points of view? They may say, “I’m not going to tell anyone what I think; I might lose my job. What if we downsize? I’m older than most of you.” As a result, we are having to pay a big price in our government, institutions, and organizations. We may placate people and try to make them believe and feel something that is not reality – to keep them in line and under our control. Yet, with the skill of interviewing questions and a sincerely concerned attitude, we could discover everyone’s point of view and take it into consideration. We could then creatively find a point of view that could serve everyone, and possibly find solutions to some, perhaps, longstanding issues.
