TO HELL AND BACK

TO HELL AND BACK

In the military there have been leaders that the soldiers would have gone to hell and back. Because they believed in the cause they were ask to believe in. This kind of leadership is rare today; how many leaders are there to get behind like this. I would if the leader will be transparent and open. Transparency makes for a clear path to leadership credibility being over-whelmingly honest. Leaders think they are overwhelmingly honest, but many followers say otherwise. In leadership assessments, over 50% of almost 13,000 peers and direct reports felt their leaders could improve in being honest and ethical (Karen Walker & Barbra Payno).

Transparent leaders when not able to share certain information with their followers-perhaps because they do not yet have all the pieces or because, for whatever reason; they are unable to tell-the unbreakable principle of honesty requires them to say: “I can’t tell you that right now, but heres what I can say.” Then overwhelmingly honesty should be delivered with respect and concern for others. There should be no hidden agendas.

Dear elected leaders, with all due respect, I will follow: but I am looking for leadership credibility that is overwhelmingly honest. Honesty is a core value, not only is trust built; another result occurs. Citizens become tolerant of not having all the facts, the facts will become open quickly and openly.

There can be no hidden agenda’s, about 99,000 voices deserve to be heard and involved, not the few. Would I go to hell and back? Give me the facts and truth deliberately overwhelmingly honestly and I fall in.

How many are willing to go to hell and back for the 99,000?
