I’m really getting sick of the news. Every day it’s the same story over and over. The president/government is — or isn’t — going to do something. One day, it’s tariffs, the next it’s funding, or firings, or whatever. I think I include myself in a good portion of the population that has lost trust in our “leaders.”
I’ve always believed that trust is an important asset for a leader to have. Of course that’s a problem if you’re a huge, unscrupulous weasel bent of abusing your position of power for personal gain. But if you’re a leader that fits that description, there’s a tool for you — it’s called “lying.”
Depending on your position of leadership, dealing with employees, or the public, they have few retaliatory options. And if lying doesn’t work and you lose their trust, you can always use fear and intimidation to get the same results.
Ok — I don’t feel any better, but at least I got that off my chest…..
