    You can’t be any more clear than that – can you?

    @Michael VanDevort, that’s a pretty good premise to start with, huh? Funny how so many get it wrong.

    If I could risk ruining a beautifully succint bit of HR Communication poetry, I might add something.

    “Truth” is not what your lawyer says is defensable. Truth is what your Grandmother told you it is.

    @Bill Strahan…that is a great distinction. Truth is what your Grandmother told you it is. Beautiful.

    I was going to make a snarky comment like, “Who’s truth?”. But then Stahan ruined it for me by identifying the source of all truth.
