The ability to "read" someone is important for any leader. You need to know who is telling you the truth and who is lying to you for one thing. How well do you think you can tell that someone is lying to you? OK, then, answer this question: Which of the following behaviors tell you that the person telling you something is lying?

  • Folded arms
  • Touching the ear
According to a researcher on lying (we'll have to assume he is telling us the truth), neither of these behaviors is a clue. He says as much on a segment of NPR's show On The Media. The interesting thing is that a television show has been created based on his findings about lying. The show is called "Lie to Me". Perhaps we can all use it to help us read those individuals whose information we depend on.

What other shows can we learn from?
