> I really wish, as a culture, we celebrated honesty as much as bravery.
But if we did that, we would have nothing to celebrate. Everyone lies, but not everyone is brave. I invite you to divide bravery by honesty, but watch out for a divide by zero error.
Interesting. Admittedly it gets hard with employees, investors and markets, which are all prone to emotional decisions. But I think we're messing with our happiness if we conflate bravery with false courage. Courage/Bravery isn't about denying fear, it's about not letting fear lead to bad decisions.
