“People respond to leaders who are authentic and genuine. … And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.”
Authenticity is foundational to courageous leadership
> A recent study found that employee’s perception of authentic leadership serves as the strongest predictor of their job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and workplace happiness.
> Research also shows that organizations, which are comprised of leaders who are true to themselves, demonstrate improvements in both employee trust and performance.
> The first step to becoming an authentic leader is to focus on self-improvement and to say, “Day by day and week by week, I’m going to work on myself.”
> Harvard Business School, “5 Characteristics of a Courageous Leader” by Matt Gavin March 2020.
“Leaders of the future need to be courageous and authentic.”
