Honesty

"Ladies and gentlemen, I suffer with you. I've never seen such stupid baseball playing in my life." Ray Kroc, San Diego Padres owner, during their home opener loss to Houston 9-1, 1974. The comments were made over the stadiums public address system.

Perhaps an extreme example. But sometimes just stating it like it is can garner you more respect and opportunity than any other choice. Side stepping an issue does not work. Address it, state the problem in simple terms and do not hide the truth, no matter how ugly it may be.
