365QOD- Day954

Honest

"10. Be Honest And Dependable; Take Responsibly: Otherwise, numbers 1-9 won't matter."-IBD tenth of ten secrets to success

I also believe that without honesty the other nine traits are meaningless.  Interesting thing about honesty is that you can not fake it.

As a leader you can delay giving information to your team but once you lie once, you will never be trusted ever again.  Your team will remember the lie(s) and hesitantly follow you.  This delay is hurtful in making forward progress and it could lead to eventual failure.

One thing I always say that it is easier to remember one truth than the ten lies.  It never stops at one lie.  That first lie had to be covered by another and another until you have to think about what you originally said.  This us such an energy waster.

Today's question is:
"How do you keep yourself honest?"
