“When truth takes a backseat to ego and politics, trust is lost.” — Patrick Lencioni Quote

“When truth takes a backseat to ego and politics, trust is lost.”

“I never accepted the premise that meetings themselves were bad.”

“Too many executives I've met over the years have the mentality of a bodybuilder; they've come to accept the idea that growth is synonymous with success.”

“I have yet to meet members of a leadership team who I thought lacked the intelligence or the domain expertise required to be successful. I've met many, however, who failed to foster organizational health. Their companies were riddled with politics, various forms of dysfunction, and general confusion about their direction and mission.”

“A lot of times, people find themselves in a meeting where the primary purpose is to receive information, and that's a poor use of people's time. Those meetings can be easily dispensed with and can be an email instead that people read in their own time.”

“Even though I wrote 'The 3 Big Questions for a Frantic Family,' my life is as chaotic as most people's.”

“Politics is a strong and slow boring of hard boards.”

“In politics, religion and other areas of culture, people disagree on the worth of competing ideas. There is no equivalent to the scientific method that can determine in a robust way which ideas match the real world, and which ones can be ruled out. So conflicting ideologies persist indefinitely.”

“My books are not 'political.' I don't make political demands. They actually describe life. But when we look at human life, politics creeps in everywhere.”

“A promising young man should go into politics so that he can go on promising for the rest of his life.”

“So my degree was in political science, which I think was - the closest I could come to marketing is politics.”

“Politics have no relation to morals.”
