When I was new at my current job, I had a problem of disrespectful staff. When you call a meeting they'll say nothing useful and worthy. Then one day I called a meeting and the same behaviour continued.
I then told my PA to organize for my team to come to my place and finish the meeting we held to no fruition earlier on. When that time arrived, I jumped into the jacuzzi and waited for them in my bedroom. The PA knocked and I called her in. To her surprise, I wasn't ready but I said she invite them in into the bedroom together with her of which she just opened the French doors and ushered them in, only for her to stay out.
Seeing the discomfort in their eyes, I told them to sit anywhere they feel comfortable for they outnumbered the seats available in there. In a sec, I could punch the density of their tense vibe morphed by their level of uncertainty as they couldn't tell what's next, of which I used to my advantage because they didn't take their time to know me at all. I asked them to give me answers and the room went dead quiet. To finish them, I got out the water naked to which they all looked away and I said to them, "answers now or I won't get dressed for the entire meeting". Haha, you should've been there to witness yourself. Answers came flying from all directions and then I got dressed. After that, I adjourned the meeting for tomorrow morning at the office and recused them. Going out, none wanted to be last.
Tomorrow morning, not even a single perverted eye could look me straight in the face. Days went by and they started with their petty behaviour and I said to them, "let's finish this at my place later today!!" and hey,,,,none wanted for that, instead they did more than I anticipated. And every time they showed signs of slack I said the wonder words and they deliver. This was the story by one divisional CEO of a multinational company, that to this day still respect. I can't recollect why he shared that with me but was a powerful story that still echoes in my head. The moral of the story was the power in nakedness.
Just like with transparency, nakedness needs to be controlled so you can manage the outcome. However you use it, it should be toward a gain. One philosopher once quoted my words to her when I said: 'you don't know a person fully until you've laid your eyes on them in their wholly bare natural form' [1]. And if you live too much in your head, you can even undress people to reduce your fear of them (that's what I heard but won't say a word further).
In conclusion: nakedness is power. Nakedness is freedom. Nakedness is bold. Nakedness is me. Whoever said nakedness is about your bare skin shown to the public or someone, was right only to some degree because the very skin I see on your face is bare.
Why is it that we block the view of this wonderful sight by those whom we label as nudists, calling their act of freedom and bravery as public indecency? What do we fear and hide in nakedness? Being naked is a display of one's enjoyment in their own skin, an exhibitionism for the natural form of art that is the body. But, above all, the power that comes with nakedness is unequivocally a jibboom statement...
