Also, from the book on radical collaboration, I discovered that the content or words I choose in expressing the truth play an important role in determining the responses of others. They are powerful dual benefit tools that could build trust and rapport with others, however, it can also reduce the level of truthfulness in teams. For this reason, I promise myself to be more careful in my use of words specifically when telling the truth to other people, so that they do not feel offended. For example, instead of saying “you're a lazy person, I don't like working with you,” maybe I can express the truth about his attitude by saying “I think you should work harder so we can achieve success together.” By choosing better words, I believe I could reduce the consequences of telling the truth to others and thus lead me to become more open towards my team on or off the BUS
