Lyn, Thank you for the comment.

I agree that often there is no intent to deceive.  Sometimes it may start with poor communication or an omission of a detail or even with a belief that to preserve morale that the truth should not be shared.

The reality is that words and actions of titled leaders are constantly observed, and quickly define expected and acceptable business practices. Our choices - positive or negative, impact our organizations and the lives of those we touch constantly.

This weekend Michael Hyatt posted an article in his newsletter by Lisa Whittle titled 5 Truths To Remember When Your Leader Falls.  It is a beautiful article that emphasizes our humanness and our need for compassionate accountability.  http://michaelhyatt.com/5-truths-to-remember-when-your-leader-falls.html
