Book Titles

You want people around who’ve been through this before and are willing to openly share their experiences.

The cheat is to have connections to people – mentors, advisers, friends, family, partners, employees – who’ve been through the problems you’re facing before and can give you a map…

…when you can short-circuit the painful quagmire of stumbling through an issue alone, it’s gold.

When people believe they can hide the truth, many of the incentives inhibiting bad behavior fall apart.

Transparency is making the choice to reveal even the most uncomfortable truths with relentless candor.

You’d be surprised at how people rise to a challenge once they know that there is a challenge.

Even after people leave, what they say about you and your trustworthiness will affect basic business functions like recruiting, sales, branding, and bizdev for decades to come.

…every email should be written and every conversation conducted as though it will one day be leaked.

Transparency can’t just be a tactic… It has to be a core value that’s consistently followed.

If you openly share some things, but hide others, credibility will suffer. Your team will always wonder what you’re not sharing.
