How can you bring your best self to work while being strategically authentic?

Why can being your authentic self backfire at work and in life?

My guest on this episode is Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, International authority on talent and leadership and author of “Don't Be Yourself: Why Authenticity Is Overrated and What to Do Instead.”

During our conversation Tomas and I discuss:

  • Why being authentic is overrated
  • The four traps leaders fall into when they decide “just be themselves.”
  • How reputation, not self-perception, determines career success
  • Why you are always a work in progress and what happens when you stop evolving.
  • Why feedback is the key to self awareness and personal growth.
