Day 61.
Someone I greatly admire as a leader once said or wrote that "the kindest form of leadership is always the truth."
My intentional follow today was to outwork that.
Why is truth always a more difficult choice?
Not that we go the route of lies - but we most often than not go the route of only 90% truth. We hold back the final 10%.
Often we hold it back because the last 10% we're thinking of isn't really the truth but our opinion of the truth.
Often we hold it back because that final 10% we can't say with grace, only with anger, prejudice or superiority.
But often we hold it back because we think 90% is good enough.
It's not.
90% is not the truth, its part of the truth.
100% (full of grace) is the truth.
What would our relationships look like; how much more authentic; how much more genuine; how much more trusting; how much more loving would they be if we took the better route of truth, not partial truth.
