Can I admit that I was a little nervous to record this episode? Authenticity is complicated, especially when it comes to leadership because it is both hard and necessary – scary and freeing, vulnerable, and yet the most trustworthy thing you can do in your leadership. It's not that we're afraid of being authentic, in fact, it’s what most of us want more than anything in the world. But the scary part of it all is knowing that we might show up authentically and not be received with loving kindness. But even though that part is really scary, it's still your job as a leader to keep showing up authentically, because doing so gives others permission to do the same. Today, we're going to be talking about the nuts and bolts of authentic leadership theory. I've been putting off this recording because I know I won't do it justice in a short episode. But at the same time, I need you to know that authentic leadership is required, and that's why it has become foundational to the ABCs of Leadership. So, grab your favorite cup of coffee and join me in today’s conversation!
