Guessing is not a strategy: How to build decision velocity with AI and real-time data
June 10, 2026 | Live Webinar
Think over the last year. Which of the following were experienced by workers in your organization (or project, if you have worked a long project)?
- Leaders/managers lying or telling half-truths
- Actions inconsistent with words (not walking the talk)
- Withholding information
- Displaying a demeaning attitude
- Failing to support employee development
How often would these have been experienced? Many times? Multiple workforce studies have concluded that – guess what – these are bad. Really bad, as it turns out. The best workers – those who you want to horde into your project - want honesty and integrity. Otherwise, they will be looking for a better deal elsewhere.
This list of naughty behaviors has also been shown to cause higher employee turnover costs, lowered morale, less effective teamwork, higher stress levels and more. In other words, just the environment in which you cannot be successful with your project.
This month, we’ve been talking about business process improvement, and these behaviors will make any such transition downright impossible. Luckily, a Right Management study also identified tactics for organizations to build better trust. We’ll look at those in my next post.
