Diplomacy is the only tactic to Corporate Survival?

"Always Speak The Truth"[/i]

"The Power of Truth unleash the winner within you"[/i]

Generations after generations are taught these lines to practice and preach. The beauty is do all of us follow the legacy?Or these are meant to be partly believed and to apply? The question is - Does one size fits all?​

From pitching of a Sales Guy, to addressing an unsatisfied employee by a human resource professional, can the truth be unfolded in each and every transaction? The answer is not that simple. Presenting the achievements to a potential client, to brand an employee satisfaction index, does an organisation really portray the black and white facts ?The positivity is of course a motive in these kind of exercises, but that itself questions - Are we truthful or are we diplomatic? - Accepting the fact that the overall objective being positivity.​

Many of the situations, you would have definitely experienced in your corporate circle - a clear cut depiction of the facts is like using a sharp edged blade. You know that once it is used, wounds are a must. The question strikes again - can we bring out the black and white every time? To our clients, to our bosses, to our potential customers, to our team members? Can we unfold every time the facts, the true picture? When the entire preaching starts from being transparent, and to be honest do we really practice when it comes to reality?​

While the entire education system, different moral books and theories project a different concept, the corporate world does it reflect a different image altogether? It is always an interesting transition from truth to diplomacy. Diplomacy as a technique is used by almost all of us in today's world and adopted as a technique for corporate survival. However, does it cover the ethical side of honesty and truth would always be an interesting insight and an ever debatable topic.​
