When may this be inappropriate or even dangerouslymisleading? What are the consequences when public awareness of thispractice leads to cynicism about the authenticity of leaders and theircommunications? And when, if ever, is the use of a ghostwriter ethical?This book will be welcomed by scholars and practitioners alike as anoriginal and timely contribution to the literature of business, politics, andcommunications.
