Truth-Telling Techniques for High-Performance Teams
byRobert Newman

The success of high-performing teams hinges on trust and transparency, yet many organizations struggle to foster open, honest communication. How can teams overcome these barriers and create a culture where the truth thrives?

Join Robert Newman, Senior Lecturer and Executive Director of the Master in Engineering Management Program, as he explores actionable strategies for integrating truth telling into your team’s culture. This session will cover key insights on building psychological safety, overcoming barriers to honesty, and using proven frameworks like radical candor and nonviolent communication to foster collaboration and accountability. Discover how embracing the truth can drive innovation, strengthen relationships, and create resilient, high-functioning teams.
Why telling the truth matters: How honesty builds trust, boosts collaboration, and enhances team performance

  • Common barriers to truth telling: Understanding fears, biases, and organizational obstacles that can hinder open communication
  • Psychological safety and engagement: How creating a safe space for honesty improves team dynamics and aligns with Gallup’s G12 performance factors
  • Proven truth-telling techniques: Practical frameworks like radical candor, nonviolent communication, and the truth-telling spectrum
  • How to deliver truth without harm: Strategies for balancing honesty with empathy to strengthen relationships and avoid conflict
  • The link between honesty and accountability: How transparency drives measurable success, improves engagement, and leads to higher team and company performance
