Cbs radio and kimt news three medical contributor dr. brian mcdonough says leaders have an added responsibility to follow cdc recommendatio ns.
Politicians and leaders, people on television are role models whether they like it or not, so people do what they do, not necessarily what they say.
So when someone has an order in a state or throughout the country that you have to do something and they're not doing it themselves, it sends a message that it's not important.
The good doctor's position is shared by rochester mayor kim norton.
As a leader, i feel it's my responsibility to mirror, so that people can see me as a mirror to the behavior that i'm hoping that they will utilize as well.
