Make honesty easier

Kindness · Little Light original

Think about how people experience you when they bring you something inconvenient: a mistake, a question, an opinion you did not expect. Your first response can shape what they feel able to tell you next time. You can take a problem seriously and still make it safe to describe accurately. Ask what happened. Listen for what needs to change. Be clear about responsibility without making the person regret being honest. This kind of care matters especially when you have authority. People learn whether your calm belongs only to the easy days. Give them reasons to trust the way you handle the difficult ones too.
