Candor

Too many people —too often—instinctively don’t express themselves with frankness. They don’t communicate straightforwardly or put forth ideas looking to stimulate real debate. They just don’t open up. Instead they withhold comments or criticism. They keep their mouths shut in order to make people feel better or to avoid conflict, and they sugarcoat bad news in order to maintain appearances.

That’s all lack of candor, and it’s absolutely damaging. (…) To get candor, you yourself demonstrate it in an exuberant and even exaggerated way. (…) My bosses cautioned me about my candor. I was labeled abrasive and consistently warned that my candor would soon get in the way of my career. Now my GE career is over, and I’m telling you that it was candor that helped make it work. (Jack Welch, Winning! HarperCollins Publishers, 2004)
