Honesty is the best policy. However, there are some corporate cultures where honesty doesn’t quite make it into the policy manual. Layers and silos provide plenty of places to hide from the truth. The playing field is muddied with purport, proviso and the pomp of political protocol. No such niceties in the entrepreneur’s environment. Here, we participate in a brutally honest game of service offered and value delivered. We’re only as good as our last assignment, and the customer satisfaction we provided. No posing. No petit fours. Just ‘show me the money!’
This might explain why some corporations don’t love playing in the social media space. The chairman of the board isn’t used to being called an idiot, and doesn’t much like it. Well, get used to it. Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown – and that’s a good thing. Discover your inner entrepreneur, and face the music with the rest of us. I mean, honestly.
