I need to lie less
I'm a high-ranking executive at a company. I lie, so much. It's like a language. I've been lying about everything my whole life, sometimes strategically, sometimes for no reason, a lot of times to feed my own ego.
As I began this job, which, I love, and I want to grow and climb the corporate ladder even further, I've often come across several business partners that I hold meetings with. I'm getting into trouble very often because I am extremely impulsive with the way I tell lies. A lot of times they help, and we get deals made, other times they're completely unnecessary, and they end up hurting deals or making the situation worse for me. Thankfully I haven't told a that would end up getting me fired, but I can't help but wonder how high I could've climbed if I had just told the truth sometimes.
