I'm reminded of a quote attributed to Sam Goldwyn: "I don't want yes men around me. I want everyone to tell the truth, even if it costs them their jobs". When I first encountered it I thought of it as a mere joke. It was only years later that I realized Goldwyn was telling the exact, literal truth: That is indeed what he wants around him, people who will tell him the truth even if they fear he'll fire them for it. Of course he'd be foolish to fire someone just for that....
