161: Honesty Unpacked: Look Under the Hood
Ron Carucci has spent his whole career holding up mirrors to leaders and organizations to ask them to be more honest with themselves, with the story that they're telling about who they are and what they're doing. He is the author of nine books, including Rising to Power, and the recently released, To Be Honest, Lead with the Power of Truth, Justice, and Purpose.
This is Ron’s second visit to the Work from the Inside Out podcast. I am so compelled by his work with organizations and the depth of his investigation into the topic of honesty that I wanted to have him back. So while this conversation is not about our usual topic of career transitions, it makes the connection between honesty and its role in creating a healthy workplace. It is all intertwined as we know that many people make decisions to leave their jobs based on the conditions in their work environments.
Ron offers us a summary of fifteen years of data that contributed to a ten-year study beginning with his work on power leading to his focus on honesty. As a result, he defined honesty as “truth, justice, and purpose, saying the right thing, doing the right thing, and saying doing the right thing for the right reasons.” He adds, “honesty is not just not lying.”
He looked at brain research, the neuroscience of how our brains are wired for behavior to find out that truth-telling of how we treat other people, fairness and justice. And our sense of well-being and purpose are all not committed in the same regions of our brain. In the data, the factors that loaded on saying the right thing, doing the right thing, and saying and doing the right thing for the right reason.
