About this audiobook

Two top business thinkers discuss the overwhelming importance of transparency and how to best operate in the new ethics-driven business climate in The Power of Truth, an original audio program created by New York Times bestselling author Daniel Goleman

The ideas expressed in Emotional Intelligence decades ago have taken on a life of their own. They spurred a movement, with enthusiastic adherents in the business world, in medicine and healthcare, at home, in the field of education and the world at large. Several million people, including business managers, human resource departments, healthcare workers, teachers, parents and students, have applied the ideas and principles expressed in Emotional Intelligence to their fields with tangible and quantifiable results. Leading with Emotional Intelligence Conversations is an ongoing dialogue series that begins with luminaries in the field of business. In the world of business, we have only scratched the surface of how principles of emotional intelligence can increase profitability and efficiency in the workplace.

It's in the nature of an organization to want to spin information, but in reality, covering up painful truths can have negative consequences. For the best organizations, it is clear that the future is all about transparency. Businesses and organizations can only win by showing they have integrity. The good news, according to Bennis and Goleman, is that organizations can change, they can choose truth over spin—as long as their leaders have the emotional intelligence to create transparency as a core value and an ultimate goal. Every organization, from small business to large, private and public, can benefit from the lessons and ideas in The Power of Truth.

    Truth is the most desirable component in one's self, a family, in a relationship, in an organization and in reality; it creates freedom, effectiveness, and efficiency in all situations. Making truth and transparency an operating practice in life and organizations will create incredible success and sustainability.

    This is a fascinating and thought-provoking expose that is just as relevant today as when it was published. As a scientist myself, I can attest to the truth of what the authors have written both about the idealistic representation of science in academia and the reality of how it is practised. Broad and Wade demonstrate how the actual practice of science frequently departs from the neat process taught in high school and college courses, and how the intended safeguards of peer review and replication frequently fail to catch errors or outright fraud. The examples themselves are engaging and often amazing in their egregiousness, making for a fast and entertaining read.What is fascinating to me is that, having witnessed many of the issues inherent in the way academic success depends on publication, and having seen firsthand how rarely experimental replication of the findings of others is attempted, and how the peer review process can fail, I continued to view science as a whole through rose-colored glasses. This attitude is just what the authors describe, and while it is understandable that scientists cling to this idealized view, this book is a necessary step in facing up to the reality so that the system can be improved. For, as the authors point out, science today is not an altruistic pursuit of truth, but a career fraught with ambition, pressure, and a rigid hierarchy. Scientists working within such a system are, like any human beings, prone to err, and a better system of regulation would help prevent mistakes and deception such as described in this book.
