Leadership; part 2 of 7 - Candor

The first of five qualities we should look for in a leader is candor. Candor:

Frankness or sincerity of expression; openness.
Freedom from prejudice; impartiality.

Do you appreciate and promote candor? Would you rather promote a sycophant (a yes-man) or someone who is candid? Is the person you are looking at promoting or hiring candid or political?

What do you think? As always comments are welcome.
