-
Authenticity is a courageous and generous gift while rudeness robs people of dignity. Generosity will always outpace robbery.
-
Authenticity connects while rudeness disconnects. Connection takes you places that disconnection can’t.
-
Authenticity builds trust while rudeness undermines it. Without trust, you’re nowhere. This is one of the most compelling reasons to be authentic not rude.
-
Authenticity removes people’s fears of being conned while rudeness is a form of conning others. Don’t be fooled into thinking that rude negative people are easier to trust.
-
Authenticity speaks the truth by filtering out personal bias. Rudeness dumps personal bias on others. Dumping never builds positive relationships.
-
Authenticity shows maturity and emotional intelligence while rudeness screams out selfishness and immaturity. How often do you want to be around selfishness?
-
Authenticity respects others and their views while rudeness disrespects them. Respect avoids inflicting scars that could otherwise haunt *you forever. The power of respect is one of the most compelling reasons to be authentic not rude.
-
Authenticity of great leaders inspires resilience in tough times while leaders’ rudeness demoralizes team members. What the heck will demoralized people achieve?
-
Authenticity honors differences while rudeness disdains them. Behavioral norms vary by culture, gender, and generation. To succeed at work, honor the differences and find the fit.
-
Authenticity shows customers you empathize and care while rudeness drives them to your competitors. To succeed in business be honest with care not blunt and rude.
-
Authenticity builds strong team relationships while rudeness breaks them apart. How will you achieve success if others won’t work with you?
-
Authenticity is open to evidence that is opposite to its views; rudeness accuses and blames. At work this blame becomes a toxic culture that spirals everyone down. This is one of the less visible yet compelling reasons to being authentic not rude.
-
Authenticity speaks the truth without insulting; rudeness insults and is hard to hear. Help others to hear your message without the distraction of insults.
