Is honesty really the best policy? “In the wake of Enron, Andersen
and the Catholic Church incidents, companies are focusing on honest,
effective communication,” says Steven Gaffney (’85). His
book, Just Be Honest, addresses such topics as reducing time wasted
in meaningless meetings, saying what you really mean without offense
or compromise, alleviating stress caused by workplace personality conflicts,
helping people deliver what they say they will on time and giving feedback
without offending. From NASA, IBM and American Express to The Washington
Post and USA Today, Gaffney is widely recognized as an authority on
the topics of communication, motivation and leadership. He is a member
of the National Speakers Association and president of the consulting
agency, the Steven Gaffney Company. Learn more his book and consulting
