Candor

I recently read Creativity Inc. by Ed Catmull, the President of PIXAR Animation and Disney Animation. This book’s subtitle says it all. “Overcoming the unseen forces that stand in the way of true inspiration.”

One of the chapters of this book is titled “Honesty and Candor,” and it provides a detailed breakdown of how Candor can be more valuable than honesty and why.

A brief excerpt will provide insight into the chapter and the substance of this podcast episode.

“But as valuable as the information that comes from honesty and as loudly as we proclaim its importance, our own fears and instincts for self-preservation often cause us to hold back. To address this reality, we need to free ourselves of honesty’s baggage.”

In this episode, I attempt to provide guidance on what candor can be vital for your practice, your patient care, your family, and yourself.

I also explain what I am doing to improve my leadership and how Candor has become vital to that growth.
