‘In this White House, it’s simply not in our DNA. Truthful and transparent is great, but we don’t even have a coherent strategy to obfuscate.’ – Anonymous White House source, as quoted by the Washington Post
Culture begins at the top. It doesn’t matter what you claim to the marketplace, or your customers, or your constituency.
As we say around the Gapingvoid HQ: How you do anything is how you do everything.
Humans are hard-wired to copy. And we’re all part of the cultures we live in, whether we like it or not.
Not a political rant, just an obvious leadership fallacy. You can’t claim you’re going to be the most transparent leader ever, unless you mean it. Unless you have a good strategy for making it happen.
