SEASON: 1 EPISODE: 7 Episode Overview: According to the Candid Cajun, straightforward dialogue significantly improves performance. Candor means you care enough to shore up weaknesses. It means capitalizing on strengths and talents. It means you fix flaws. A lack of candor will slow you down and won't bring improvements to the workplace and can create a toxic environment. By rewarding candor, you create a culture of candor built on trust and respect. In this episode, our focus with the Candid Cajun is to talk about how respectful candor can give you a strategic advantage and create an environment where trust and respect flourish.
