Being straightforward is the most difficult to put into motion, of all the eight values that build trust. When you master straightforwardness, you have co-created a psychologically safe organization.
Shelonda: The most challenging value for me was being straightforward. So straightforwardness was very, very difficult. I really value relationships and I thought that being straightforward would come off as being rude or arrogant. But in evaluating and understanding things better, I know that being straightforward is being respectful of that other person, and being able to kind of communicate with them better. And it builds a better relationship, so being straightforward has been the hardest one for me, but it’s been it’s been good. It’s worked out because I’m able to easily communicate what it is that I want, and it builds trust within the team; if we’re able to truly say what we want and go forward.
