    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.

    AMEN.

  5. What a breath of fresh air. I am the founder of a 25 year old association of HR professionals who have somne difficulty walking the talk. I’m going to send your blog to every one of them. Thank you for painting the elephant in the room RED.

    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.
