- You will always know where you stand and never have to guess.
- I won’t say anything behind close doors that I have not or am not planning to say to your face.
- I will be gracefully-brutally honest with you, and when necessary, in front of the entire team. (This is not an issue of correcting in public; however, some issues are are more effectively handled in a public setting, especially when the public group is involved.)
“Behind Closed Doors” Policies are born out of an unwillingness to openly confront the brutal facts, and they are detrimental to the health and wealth of an organization. Replace your “Behind Closed Doors” Policy with an “Above Board” Policy. The “Above Board” Policy always lets people know where they stand and reduces the potential for the detrimental types of closed-door meetings.
Open the Door and Release the Potential!
