Alethephobia

Cultures of innovation are harder to achieve than many believe they are

I talked to a company this week about creating a culture of innovation in the workplace and Alethephobia- being scared of the truth. During that address we did a Q & A session and I asked the audience why are we scared to have truthful and honest discussions with co-workers, managers, friends and family?

Here are some of the responses:

• Consequences- When we are honest we could be punished or reprimanded

• Hurt Feelings- We will hurt other people’s feelings

• Fights- It will starts arguments with people

• Tension- It will create friction between the two parties
