32. Creating a Culture of Candour: Lessons in Truth Telling with Dominic Thurbon
Do you ever look around your organisation and think... are we just pretending everything’s fine?
In this episode, I talk with Dominic Thurbon about truthful leadership. What happens when lying becomes the norm, and how truth telling could be the biggest lever for real change in our organisations.
We cover the difference between positioning and spin, why some leaders use “candour” as an excuse to be rude, and how culture, fear and incentives all play into honesty at work.
You’ll hear why truth is more than just a value, it’s a strategy. Dominic shares powerful insights from his new book The Truthful Leader and the research behind why lies might get short-term results, but always unravel in the long run.
We also discuss practical ways HR teams and leaders can create psychologically safe spaces for honest conversations, without brutalising people in the process. If you're ready to cut through the spin and build a more authentic workplace, this episode’s for you.
Have you ever paid the price for being honest at work? Or seen truth telling transform a team? I'd love to hear your story. Connect with me on LinkedIn and let’s keep this conversation going.
