Shakespeare's plays Othello and Much Ado About Nothing start with the same storyline: someone tells a lie about a relationship that threatens an entire community. But when does the lie become a weapon? When someone chooses to believe it. True leaders must push back against lies, even when it's risky and unpopular.
