Episode 132: Why Honest Teams Perform Better

This week on Work Savvy, Karen is joined by international speaker, innovation expert, and author Dom Thurbon to explore the power of honesty in leadership, workplace culture, and high performance. 

In this conversation, they unpack why the best teams are the ones willing to face reality, challenge assumptions, and have the conversations others avoid. From performance issues and emerging risks through to innovation and decision making, Dom shares why truth is not just a moral ideal — it’s a practical driver of learning, trust, growth, and better business outcomes. 

Drawing on insights from his new book To Be Honest, Dom explores how leaders can move beyond “polite silence” to create cultures where people feel safe to speak openly, challenge ideas, and contribute honestly. 

If you’re ready to build a culture where truth thrives and performance follows, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.
