Abstract

This chapter familiarizes the reader with the actions and personality traits of the Prophet Gad as a template for how a follower can effectively speak truth to power. It also explores the preferred communication styles of various leaders—which is critical to the process if the follower wants the message to be heard—and the four essential elements that give the articulator of truth a competitive edge. Complementary historical cases help to understand how a coalition within an entity can magnify the message of truth. To move from theory to practice, the reader is placed in the boardroom of a company on the brink of a flawed executive decision.
