I was working on an event a while back and was having difficulty confirming some figures when I was told that I was being too honest. Being accurate and above board is a value that all people should have but apparently this in not the case as I am being told. I did not know that here was such a thing as being too honest.
I guess that the opposite is not being honest enough. Maybe not disclosing certain facts, details, or feelings is not being honest enough. Or is there such a thing as not being honest enough? I was unaware that there were supposed to be varying degrees of honesty. Any more than I am aware that there are varying degrees of integity. What I do believe is that honesty and integrity go hand in hand.
How can someone stand in integrity if they are not honest and can tell the truth? What I do know is that the truth will set you free. And another very important virtue that goes immediately with honesty and integrity is accountability. If you are to be trusted in the wold of success you must be honest enough to stand in your integrity and be accountable. These are the principles of a leader.
All in all I did inform those that I was accountable to about the discrepancies that I was encountering so that they may find the issues on the backside when they received all of the information. In that I did feel that I had done my job well. And those that entrusted me with the task could trust me to be truthful and hold strong to my own integrity. In the world of success these are truely attributes for every leader.
