— To follow is a bullet of wisdom on leadership. It comes from Tom’s rifle, named Shot, who has seen it all. You’ll get the drift by clicking Blog in the menu at www.tomnewhouse.com.
THAT’S RIFLE TALK: Tell it like it is! Hey, who has all day to figure out what you’re saying? Spit it out, plain and simple like. Then, we all know what you mean, and we don’t fall asleep before we get it.
Leaders, tell the truth! Tell it without hesitation. Give the facts. Get straight to the message. The truth is freeing to you and others. One caution: Don’t be mean. Apply tact. The Bible says it well: “Speak the truth in love.”
