Episode 18: Can you handle the truth?
Why is there nearly always a gap between the job that was sold to you and what you ended up doing (and why might there be post-interview surprises about you, too)? Kate & Max explore the gap between perspectives and reality and share stories of when truth telling has been unwelcome, unbelievable, unheard and unshareable. This episode is for you if you're ever asked to share your opinion about someone you work with - or if you ever wonder what people might be saying about you when you're not in the room. Find out more about how to maximise your reputation for truth-telling at theaccidentalmanager . That's where you'll find the 5-minute noodles Trust Equation, Authority-Presence-Impact and the Energy Investment Model - all of which help you handle the truth with the sensitivity often required by people leaders. The book we mention in this episode is Margaret Heffernan's Wilful Blindness which explains why addressing the truth can be surprisingly complex even for the most trustworthy, integrity-filled people.Join the chat at noodle.space and follow us for daily snippets to boost your day on Instagram @noodle_space.
