While candor has many benefits, it also comes with challenges:
Fear of Repercussions: Employees may fear that their honesty will lead to negative consequences. Cultural Barriers: In some cultures, directness may be perceived as rude or disrespectful. Miscommunication: Honest feedback can sometimes be misinterpreted or poorly delivered, leading to misunderstandings. Leadership Resistance: Some leaders may be uncomfortable with receiving candid feedback about their own performance.
