Mike Myatt: Leadership that is not deeply rooted in a foundation of truth is leadership destined to fail. The reality is that the best leaders are also absolutists when it comes to truth – they view truth as a non-negotiable.

very interesting link - thanks for sharing. My take:
The study revealed that "people with power lied more easily and effectively".
However, Dana mentions that in the study, "power was a temporary situation".
Do people in long-term, powerful positions lie more easily and effectively? Maybe they could, but my gut says they wouldn't.

Interesting post though just yesterday I read a contrarian viewpoint in the Harvard Journal. It states in fact that leaders on top are generally more adept and more prone to lie and to justify it.
