Loyalties: to the boss, attitudes about what is important, rewards/incentives
Personal Mastery needs Truth in an Org.
3 Barriers to the Truth
1. Systematic blocks that prevent speaking out
Frowns, put-downs, sarcastic humor, grunt work, demotions
Barriers to the Truth
2. No training to help with difficult announcements
