Generosity is never a lie.
There will be times where you are tempted to tell a “little white lie” to give someone some motivation. Don’t do it. It’s lazy.
There’s a concept called benevolent deception. It applies in many areas of life - professional and personal. People use it in attempt to benefit someone else despite not telling them the truth.
Workplace cultures just don’t lend themselves to long term sustainability if the truth isn’t apparent. Yes, the truth hurts but it’s worth it.
Praise people for what they can control rather than for what they can’t, or even worse, give them false praise.
This episode will teach you why you must tell the truth to build a generous workplace culture and how to do it even when things don’t go as planned.
Have a generous day.
