C. Post: Pick one of the ten communication secrets shared by Mike Myatt, and on the discussion board, share an example of a leader who used that skill well and then a leader who didn’t use that skill well. What was the impact in both examples?
Principle #1 - "Speak not with a forked tongue" - I walked away from this principle thinking about trust and honesty as components of successful and authentic leadership and what the results were when leaders did not earn trust and display honesty. A leader who I believed used that skill and earned trust and displayed honesty is Dr. Anthony Fauci. A leader who did not earn my trust or display honesty in his leadership was Dr. Jerome Adams (former U.S Surgeon General). Both played critical roles in teaching and informing the public about the significance of COVID -19 during the early stages of the pandemic. I believe Dr. Fauci was a straight shooter. He spoke honestly and accurately and gave a rationale when his position changed. Dr. Adams acting as the chief medical officer kind of waffled around, was not precise and left me to believe he was not always giving factual information that I could trust. The impact was I continued to believe and trust Dr. Fauci (even when his information changed or seemed inconsistent) and I basically began to ignore the information Dr. Adams provided, even when he repeated exactly what Dr. Fauci stated. I simply could no longer connect with him as a source of the information.
