On This Day in Leadership History, December 3rd

On this day in leadership history in 1983, Rita Lavelle, former head of EPA, was convicted of perjury. Her conviction was related to an investigation into misuse of the United States EPA’s “Superfund” money during her tenure with the agency, and irregularities at the Stringfellow Acid Pits, a major hazardous waste site.

What’s the leadership lesson? All leaders are tempted to compromise their character. If you think you can get away with it in the long run, you can’t. Seek ways to lead with honor!
