The truth alone is not enough

I recently encountered a situation. A situation that has no turning back.

After raising a company £millions and continuously offering so much support to them and even waiving tens of thousands of pounds of fees for them.

I was forced to resign, unethically.

Legal action was considered.

Walking away from that experience, I realised 3 things:

1) The journey in business is never linear

2) Sometimes the truth alone isn’t enough, and that presentation of the truth is just as important as the truth

3) Having a bad boss isn't your fault. Staying with one is

And another realisation that universal principles (truth, fairness, integrity) are more important than anything else. And making a stand for what you believe in and taking action. Or a risk it could happen again to others if it went undiscovered. More important than money. More important than winning. More important than ego.
