Today's question was what adivce would you gave someone starting in a new position. There was the listen to the Council, learn to understand your organization and be flexible advice. But what simple advice is there that takes you to the next level? Leadership, ehtics, effort, intelligence?
I started simple - tell the truth. In the world of politics and spin - this can be a very hard requirement. There are managers out there that are relative from the tips of their toes to the tops of their heads. Customer friendly, compassionate listening, group huggers often cannot stand up and say what needs to be said - the truth.
And in this current enviroment, telling the truth maybe a wasted effort because the one who really needs it will find someone to tell them what they want to hear. Just like going to church.
