Episode Details

On August 15, 1973, Richard Nixon gave a televised address to the American people from the White House.

During that speech, Nixon said, “I had no knowledge of the Watergate break-in and I had no involvement in it.” His supporters believed him, but the investigation would eventually reveal that he had lied.

The Watergate tapes were released to the American public on August 5, 1974. Just 3 days later, Richard Nixon became the only President to resign and Watergate became known as the largest scandal in the history of American politics.

When we tell a lie, there are usually consequences. When we lie to ourselves, there are almost always significant consequences. On today’s episode of The Private School Leader Podcast, we are going to talk about The Leadership Lie That Is Keeping You Stuck.
