I read a LinkedIn meme that said, "If you want to build a great company, create an environment where someone can raise their hand and say "I disagree" without any fear of victimization or termination". [link to the post - https://bit.ly/3s31YUg]

This isn't the first time I'm hearing/reading such a statement. Whenever we don't speak up, i.e. say we disagree or agree, then basically we're choosing to lie. Even if it's in fear of being victimized or losing our job or not fitting in.

What we're doing is creating a habit of lying and more than likely, we're teaching others, including our kids at home, or team mates at work, to do the same - lie.

One small lie creates a snowball effect. We've heard so many lies these past years from our politicians and from the media. This cycle of deception has to stop. It won't with them, so it must with us. We have to take responsibility to make the small personal changes, because it's these changes that will create the changes on a global scale. But it must start with us first.
