In this brief excerpt, Dara Khosrowshahi emphasizes that absolute truthfulness and transparency are essential for building strong relationships within an organization. He argues that great companies function as missions rather than mere jobs, and when leaders openly communicate this mission, it deepens the connection with their teams. Moreover, such openness encourages team members to reciprocate with their own transparency and honesty, fostering a two‑way culture of openness.
