When you start at the edges you can work your way in to a healthy balance. The point is people don't really want *you*,they want a you that pleases them. That's not aways an easy thing to accomplish, hence my interest in the discussion. Anyway, sorry you didn't dig it. Maybe I can cover the topic again from a different angle.

They don't refute the value of transparency and authenticity. 1. We don't want to buy from the "transparent" car salesman because he's obnoxious and uninterested in our needs. 2. The "lovable" businessman who pretends to care about others and fakes having a sense of humor -- are you really suggesting that everyone will love us if we just fake interest in them and retell jokes that we don't think are funny? Give me a break. Brian: The examples you chose don’t prove anything. They don’t refute the value of transparency and authenticity.

Give me a break.
