Thanks for the great post. The most productive, and challenging question is, what can we learn from this? You suggest a very key point: the truth will be known.  If the truth isn't known, then we're not leaders, we're manipulators.  People do their best when they're free to move. Lance may have lost his ability to influence people at all.  Costly lesson. I don't want to treat it as if it's not a valuable lesson just because I didn't pay anything. It's a costly lesson.

Thanks again for the great post. Mike...
