Honesty should not need a preface. An honest person should be like a smelly goat in the room, Marcus would say—you know when they’re there. An honest person keeps their word. They don’t hide behind jargon. They don’t sneak around. If there’s going to be a delay or a problem, they’ll tell you. If they have concerns, they’ll voice them—they won’t nod their head, only to say “I told you so” later. They don’t fool themselves with wishful thinking or the desire to be well received.
