Lying by Leaders and Great Leaders

Lying by Leaders, Great Leaders and World Leaders

You are a witness to lying by leaders. You are dejected.  You feel horrible. People are felicitating the leader who is a liar saying he is the most honest person. Person of integrity. A great benefactor of people. While you may feel dejected, sad and disillusioned, many people before had that same feeling. That is the nature of the world.  There is lot of published material on lying by leaders and many leaders might have read that literature and must have decided that lying is the way to go ahead in real life.  At some point in time truth may catch up with many persons. But leaders are living in the present. They are winning in the present. They are celebrating in the present. May be you don't know to keep you living what are sort of deceit has to be done by your defence forces. May be the leaders also indulge in lying many time to keep the society relatively stable.

What is the published material on lying by leaders?

Why Leaders Lie

Why Leaders Lie: The Truth About Lying in International Politics is a 2011 book by the political scientist John Mearsheimer.

The book argues that leaders lie to foreign audiences as well as their own people because they think it is good for their country.

Is It OK For Leaders To Lie?

Brook Manville
Darwinian explanation. People like winning, “Alpha Leaders;” their champion performance trumps the occasional lie. “Who cares if Pete Rose denied his gambling? He was an all-time baseball great, deserves the Hall of Fame.”

ET Now| Dec 12, 2018

one must worry about the extent of job creation in India. Reports of 25 million people applying for 90,000 railway jobs is something that suggests there is not enough supply of jobs in the market.

We have to focus on improving the quality of research or the quality of our universities and as a by-product our companies will also get better.
