What if being honest with ourselves and others made us be better business leaders?
That is the issue this week's guest, Ron Carucci, addresses in his book, To Be Honest.
The origins of his book are fascinating. He put hundreds of his firm's past client interviews through IBM Watson's AI engine to uncover patterns associated with business success.
He found that honesty was crucial. He discovered that just four factors could make organisations 16 times more likely to have people tell the truth, behave fairly, and serve a greater good.
In this episode, we talk:
- How BS slowly kills businesses
- How honesty is a muscle
- Going beyond engagement surveys
- The secret of Microsoft's turnaround
- Ron's path to getting more honest

This week I swing way out with teacher and healer Paul Fletcher.
According to Paul, all challenges in life are due to negative information energy and matter that gets stored in your vibrational field (soul), while all success is due to a positive build-up. The secret everyone is looking for is to understand where and how the harmful accumulation occurs and how to remove it and maximize the positive.
We talk:
- Tao forgiveness practices
- Acknowledging the soul
- Soul Marketing
- The 21-day gratitude practice
- Distinguishing heart and soul
