Why trust and honesty are more important than ever
Various things have happened today that have made me feel very angry and sad.
I have had an email conversation with a friend from a large company. He inherited this company just before the credit crunch hit and as a result he has had a real battle. I guess some one in the company has felt that either my friend has not done a good job or they could do better.
I say this because that person has taken privy information and leaked it to the press and this has made things very awkward for my friend.
I do not feel this is what the founder of the company intended and it makes me feel awful and reported this to another friend who said I shouldn’t be surprised – that’s business!
I’m sorry, but truth, trust and honesty are what defines a person and makes them last. If we are defined by what we do, then the person who has behaved in this way is horrible.
I’m glad I don’t work in my friend’s company, although I think he could do with all the help he can get,IMHO…
