- asoneth 4y agoIf you or your team believe the lies that you tell external stakeholders then failure is inevitable since your decisions are not based on an accurate model of reality. Assuming you are ruthlessly honest within the team, chronic lying to external stakeholders still eventually results in people not trusting you. Once you develop this kind of reputation then investment generally comes with worse terms and more strings attached and you have to pay more and/or look further afield for talent than a team without such a reputation.
