Dalio said he was told that his process of being radically truthful was hurting people's morale.

The proposition is about Dalio's own statement. True: the recording or transcript of his 12 September 2017 remarks (such as his TED talk) shows him saying he was told his radically truthful process was hurting people's morale. Mostly true: he said this in substantially the same words, with minor differences of wording or a slightly different date or venue. Mixed: he made a related but materially different statement (for example, that people were uncomfortable, without mention of morale). Mostly false: the remark was made by someone else, or he said something only loosely similar. False: the recording or transcript shows he did not say it.

1. E1 Bridgewater's Ray Dalio: 'Radical transparency' is behind ... CNBC · 12 September 2017

   “"I was told that my process of being totally, radically truthful was hurting people's morale," he says.”

2. E2 The Education of Ray Dalio Institutional Investor · 18 September 2017

   “I didn't know that I was making people feel bad with that radical transparency.”

CNBC published on 12 September 2017 and is independent of Dalio. It quotes him saying "I was told that my process of being totally, radically truthful was hurting people's morale" (E2). That matches the proposition and differs from the claim's quote only by the filler word "like". Institutional Investor (E3) reports a related remark in which Dalio said his radical transparency made people feel bad, which is consistent with E2.
