Discretion could very well be a missing link to our success. It is a value that has fallen by the wayside in our competition for glory, our society’s insatiable need for one-upmanship. At some point in time, perhaps around the explosion of social media and reality television, speaking behind the backs of others, and breaching trust publicly, became popular. I find it interesting that most people are acutely aware of the meaning of indiscretion, however discretion is seldom discussed or integrated.
Like many things that we want to get better, I am asking those listening to pony up. Personally, I’d like to see discretion make a come back. Discretion is about principles like: honest communication, permission, transparency, protection, and respecting one another. Discretion is a standard we choose to add to our behavior portfolio, if we want to become part of the solution.
