Circle of Trust
We talk a lot about candor, and practice candor by giving the Q AAR. At times, in other areas of life, I struggle with balancing care and candor. Giving someone a difficult message or criticism can feel insensitive, mean, uncomfortable – and because of this, often it is avoided.
The reality is that giving difficult feedback is an act of kindness. Having candor with someone doesn’t have to replace caring about them.
Caring Values The Person While Candor Values The Person’s Potential
You have to have candor with those you love in order to help them reach their potential.
