In this segment of Joshua Nelson’s talk, the speaker emphasizes the practical importance of organizational transparency, especially when making decisions and seeking team feedback. He highlights a specific scenario: when an employee is let go without clear communication about the reasons, remaining staff may begin to wonder if they are next on the chopping block. This lack of openness erodes trust, creates fear, and undermines morale, illustrating how silence can be more damaging than the difficult decision itself.

And so, um, recently just, we've been aware as well that if you let somebody go and you are not fully transparent as to why that is, that can also affect, you know, oh, are, am I an X on the chopping block? Like, what did that person do?
