If you have the privilege to hold a leadership position, how you answer the question “who owns the truth”, impacts relationships, teams and organizations.
If your answer is “I do” then;
• Relationships are transactional
• Teams are fractured
• Organizations are siloed
If your answer is “we all do” then;
• Relationships are meaningful
• Teams are unified
• Organizations are interdependent
Effective leaders understand their perspective is always incomplete. Therefore they have the courage to challenge their “truth” by seeking the perspectives of others, to help them see what they aren’t seeing.
Remember: Everyone owns the truth, yet no ONE person owns it.
