Tell It Like It Is

Aug. 14, 2022

Years ago, I called up my go-to shop for delivery pizza.  

While customizing my order, I asked “hey, I see you have this new robusto sauce on the menu, how is that?”

Without missing a beat, the person replied “it’s not good”.

I nearly fell out of my chair.   I couldn’t believe their frankness. 

It stands out when someone gives you the straight truth.

It builds trust when someone shows they will tell you the good and the bad without hesitation.

This single conversation doubled my loyalty to that pizza place.

Most people are worried about the reaction others will have if they deliver bad news:  

Wow.  Are you the kind of person I can count on to give it to me straight?  Because I need more people like that on my team…

What’s your willingness to tell it like it is?
