Does Anyone Dare to Tell the Truth?

In a survey of 40,000 Americans, 93% of them admitted to lying regularly at work.

When members of an organization hide the truth from each other it sets the stage for distrust, lowered productivity, poor decisions and frustration. On the other hand, to quote a police investigator, “If you tell the truth too bluntly, you get your ass in trouble!”

Creating an atmosphere where speaking and hearing the truth is valued and practiced takes deliberate attention. This is because practicing deception has become normal for many people. You need to work to create a situation where telling the truth becomes normal again.

Several problems interact to cause deception in the workplace.

First, people are afraid to tell the truth about their own perceptions because they don’t want to look weak or foolish, lose face, or be proved wrong. Instead of taking these risks, most people try to figure out what others think before they risk revealing their own thoughts. If their ideas seem different, they usually keep their thoughts to themselves.

Next, people suspect and fear that the very people they should be communicating with may react vindictively when they hear an unpleasant or unpopular point of view. This fear is realistic enough that laws have been passed to protect “whistleblowers.” While employees fear retaliation, management fears lawsuits.

If this weren’t enough, most folks want to be polite and avoid saying or doing anything that might embarrass someone, so they remain silent about very important issues.

Declaring that truth-telling is valued in a organization is obviously not going to do much to change this powerful set of interlocking belief systems. It takes an aware and committed leader to break this cultural norm by modeling behaviors that demonstrate that s/he values input from any source.

This means listening seriously to ideas that are different than those that are generally accepted. It also includes learning to recognize signs that you or others are steering clear of uncomfortable subject matter.

You can increase the chances of others trusting you enough to tell you the truth when you follow these guidelines.

*Respond non-defensively when you perceive that you or your pet projects are being attacked. You are most likely to miss important information when you feel uncomfortable.

*Request further information about unpopular points of view and listen respectfully when it is shared.

* Express genuine appreciation for all speakers, even if you feel impatient and/or disagree with their positions.

Behaving this way communicates, louder than words, your dedication to creating a truthful environment.

Determining the truth – Organic Chem – eASY best answer?

Which of the following statements is true, and explain why the others are false:

FIRST GROUP:
a. carbon only ever forms single bonds (FALSE)
A carbon atom with another carbon atom or any other nonmetal forms sigle, double or triple bonds by means of sp3, sp2 and sp hybridization.

b. organic compound are never acidic (FALSE)
There is a large class of organic chemistry – carboxylic acids.

c. the bonding in organic compounds is normally ionic (FALSE)
Organic chemistry or chemistry of carbon involves such compounds composed of covalently bonded nonmetal atoms, mainly C, H, O, N, Halogens, S, P. Only very small portion of compounds (organometallic compounds) contains ionic bonds.

d. structural isomers have the same chemical formula (TRUE)
Not only structural isomers, but also other isomers (positional isomers, functional group isomers, geometric isomers, stereoisomers) have the same molecular formula.

SECOND GROUP:
a. Polymers are long chain molecules (GENERALLY TRUE, NOT ALWAYS)
Polymers can be formed by “addition polymerization” in which monomers add together via a free radical mechanism. Polymers formed by this process are long chain molecules. On the other hand, polymers can also be formed by “condensation polymerization”, which involves the splitting out a small molecule (often water) between two monomers to form a dimer, which then undergoes further condensation. This types of polymers may not be long chain molecules.

b. The basic building block of a polymer is a monomer (TRUE)
Polymers are large, usually chainlike molecules that are built from small molecules called momers.

c. Proteins are composed of amino acids (TRUE)
The building blocks of proteins are the α-amino acids.

d. There are 20 different proteins in the human body (FALSE)
There are 20 different α-amino acids found in most proteins. 9 of them have nonpolar side chains and 11 of them have polar side chains.
