Quote

Fearful leaders side-step issues instead of dealing with them, cover up mistakes instead of owning up to mistakes they skulk back into the shadows and hope that the crisis-whatever it is-will somehow blow over instead of facing their fears. Worse, they resort to lies and deception to cover up the truth.
