Safe to tell the Truth: Building Teams Where Honesty Wins

In this episode of the DeadThree Coaching Show, we dig into the foundation of every elite team: trust that makes truth-telling safe.

If someone on your team spots a problem, do they feel safe to say it out loud—or do they go quiet and hope it goes away? Using insights from Patrick Lencioni’s The Advantage, Seth Godin’s Tribes, and real-world leadership examples (including UConn’s Dan Hurley), we unpack why silence is costly and how leaders create environments where people can speak freely, fail safely, and still feel valued.
