It means putting our money, our time and our energy where our mouth is. Being honest means admitting our mistakes and owning up to our responsibilities—something that applies to companies as much as it does to individuals.POSITIVE - Positive means constructive. It means building things—and people—up, not breaking them down. It means suggesting rather than criticizing and working for solutions rather than just complaining.
