Challenges Facing Leaders Dealing with Fake News and Misinformation - Reduced Trust and Cohesion in the Workplace.

The societal impact of disinformation has become more prevalent in recent years, with many events illustrating these impacts. Nascent academic research has explored these impacts on a more comprehensive, societal scale; however, its influence on the business world has remained relatively unacknowledged.
