Why you need Authentic Leadership
Many analysts and business scholars simultaneously rate leadership as the most
sought after and the most elusive quality in business today! Even so, leadership
largely determines the level to which an organization will rise. Yet, there are no
bachelors’ degrees given in leadership. MBA’s with concentrations in finance, human
resources and management abound, but none has a concentration in leadership.
Titles, authority and responsibility can be conferred, but recognition as an authentic
leader can only be bestowed by those who choose to follow.
What is an authentic leader? How can authentic leadership be recognized? What
are the principles commonly at work in the lives of authentic leaders?
These questions do not lead themselves to easy answers. Authenticity in a leader is
difficult to describe. And finding authentic leaders is even more difficult. Words like
genuine, real or trustworthy are synonyms for the word authentic, but they don’t
fully portray the behavior of an authentic leader. We might say that a truly authentic
leaders’ actions speak for themselves. Or as someone said in another context, we’ll
know it when we see it. And that’s the point, isn’t it? In order to understand
authentic leadership, we need to see it in action.
