I have written a series of blog posts around the importance of defining the truth, about how it enables freedom for your team, forces leaders to make the right decisions, and keeps people focused, but what do you do once you have defined your truth?
It should be alive within your teams and to your employees, a constant focus, a vehicle through which people can teach and correct others. The truth is not for one person to own but the blood that flows through the entire organization.
If someone breaks a truth, any person within the organization should be able to correct the truth breaker. There should be regular discussions about how things should be done in light of the truth. Through these steps the truth goes from being words on paper to being actions with meaning.
