This chapter highlights the significance of straightforward and truthful communication without sugarcoating to aid in personal and professional development. It equates providing direct feedback to coaching in sports, urging individuals to view honesty as a form of care and leadership.
What's keeping you from being successful is your inability and lack of capacity to tell the truth. Throughout your day, you have the opportunity to say the things that people need to hear, but you don't do it. You don't want to hurt people's feelings. You don't want them to be mad at you. Whatever the reason, you buffer what you say or don't say it at all. But until you learn to speak the truth clearly and directly, you're never going to be the type of person who becomes wealthy or successful.
