When I reflect and think about my over 30 years in the corporate world I am so proud of how far we have come creating a culture of candor in the workplace.  Oh, don't get me wrong, we still have a long way to do, but wow we have come a long way.  I will probably get people who disagree with me but I honestly don't think prejudice or malice was ever intended, in most circumstances.  I think we did not know any better.  When we know better we can do better.  Let's give ourselves and each other some grace and trust that we are doing better.  What are you doing to cultivate a culture of candor? Expanding Excellence - Personal Paradise Builders Blueprint, Productivity Training (expanding-excellence.com)
