Extraordinary results require an environment in which those you lead are rewarded for being exceptionally honest.
Researcher/author Jim Collins (Good to Great) found such candor to be a priority at companies that sustain outstanding financial results. Take a hard look at the culture in your organization. Whatever values you espouse in principle, how frank are your people with each other—and with you—in actual practice? What do you need to start / stop / change to add honesty and directness to the DNA of your enterprise?
Answer that, and you lead your team to new levels of competitive success and effectiveness.
