The business world needs more of these kinds of no bullshit, no footnotes, no qualifier statements.

The business world has enough of them already. What it needs are people within the companies to abide by them (inc senior leadership).

It's sad when trust, transparency, and honesty become differentiators instead of expected.

You are quite right. But my posting history has led some to label me as naive... I think it's closer to the truth to say:

Truth, Trust, and Transparency are always differentiators but the reality is they are only subjectively quantifiable, and therefore a problem waiting to happen if a majority of shareholders aren't exactly aligned.

Or, simply put, large companies generally are forced into an amoral "objective and quantifiable" position. Thus it has ever been.

As a founder, I have more control over my company's culture, but I have no illusions that I can set it in stone.
