The institutional resistance to "truth"

Fabulous blog post here from Nic Askew on his recent experiences of where sharing our "truths" (what people are really thinking and feeling) can meet such resistance in the world: https://nicaskew.com/blog/truth-friction-and-the-grand-human-predicament/?fbclid=IwAR1-afJDQBmIrm7xa17KcMqg3vmgBLLpqbujKD2kwgBnOiwu4rJjEB_MU6M

I have come across very similar experiences in Sensemaking and narratives projects for corporates, where unstructured and spontaneous expression of experiences are gathered. Two household brand name / multi-national clients of collaboration partners of mine have actually cancelled or blocked Sensemaking projects, due to fears as to what employees might actually say.
