"
The power of repetition is indeed a key part of this Joe and that's something we saw from Donald Trump right away back in 2015, 2016. He's a master brander, remember he certainly was not not shy about lying about his resume about himself about what he'll do in the Oval Office etcetera. And night after night he'd hit today the same things over and over and over.
And that continued while he was in office and so much of it ended up not being true, a deliberate untruth because as you say trying to confuse the viewer, confuse the listener. It's the strategy that he and his team took during the Mueller investigation or they would just throw things up against the wall to try to muddy the picture, to try to confuse people so they wouldn't get a clear sense of what was going on.
And that continued of course hitting its pinnacle during the 2020 election which is what my book is about and how he tried to lie and mist and distort the truth by throwing so much out there so much of it nonsense.
It wasn't so much that he wanted the people to hear it to believe one particular lie. It just there'd be so many lies, they couldn't figure out what the truth is and they would just dismiss all of it.
They would just say well, none of this can be true and they would just rely on perhaps their favorite conservative talk show hosts or media site or whatever it might be because they gave up trying to figure out what was true.

"
It's really great to have you on the show I want to start with, given the challenges many countries are facing with leadership today why did you write this book?
Well, unfortunately, you're right there are a number of leadership challenges and voids that we're seeing but I wrote this book with my co-author, Lynn Wooten primarily because we think that there's a real opportunity for leadership now and there's so many different circumstances that are requiring leadership and talking about some of the crises that you just had in your last segment whether you're talking about organizational responses to threats The need for leadership is really paramount and I work in a business school and we're targeting the goal of preparing the next generation of future leaders
And I'm curious if you address in this and have considered the concept of leadership in the age of disinformation I think that has made good, honest leadership difficult in a sea of many different messages that ripple across a population and often stick
So you're bringing up a good point and what we argue is that communication is key whether you're in a time of crisis or not and the information that you have regarding communication is paramount And so one of the things that a leader has to discern is the credibility of the information that they have where the sources of information are coming from can it be validated by other sources getting a 360 degree of the kind of information that you're seeking to present out to the world or that you are taking in is really a critical role of leadership
