I have a friend who once found himself in a very tricky and uncomfortable situation at work. He had knowledge that his direct supervisor was stealing inventory. He saw this happen with his own eyes, and it ate away at him. But Corey knew that saying something could get him in hot water … possibly even fired. Corey learned the hard way that knowing the truth unfortunately can set you free ... he eventually spoke up and was fired.
Fortunately, many companies (the ones with good leadership, anyway) have measures in place to prevent employees from feeling like they can't say anything bad about their supervisors for fear of losing their jobs. What would your workplace look like if the truth was put in its proper place? We live in a time when trust is at an all time low (in my opinion) and we almost expect that people aren’t telling us the truth. I learned this the hard way when I moved from nursing (where my patients whole-heartedly trusted me) at the bedside to the sales world. I was amazed at how many people dismissed what I said because I was selling something. I know not to take this sort of thing personally - after all it’s experience that has taught them to think this way.
Regardless of where you work and what your role is, you can set a high priority for the truth. At Pulsara, we value truth & integrity and that starts with the individuals. Here are 5 tips to help you embrace the truth.
