Open and Honest 101 | Gino Wickman

This year I shared something it took me 25 years to fully put into words, and it traces back to one expectation I added somewhere between my first and tenth EOS session ever: be open and honest. I knew right away it was the secret ingredient, but finding the right way to explain why took 25 years.

In the talk, I break down what open and honest actually means, why most leadership teams are stuck around a four on a scale of one to ten, and why that single shift is the difference between mediocrity and greatness. I get into the real distinction between open and honest, why love has to be part of the equation, stories from my own teams over the years, and the research behind why this impacts your bottom line more than almost anything else.

If you are building a leadership team right now, this one is for you.
