AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP
We have all worked with many different leaders and experienced a variety of leadership
approaches
...

Authentic leadership can be developed by working on certain key traits
...
The first is a deep level of
understanding of their own internal emotional and psychological state or an awareness of the
values, beliefs, and priorities
...

This is self-monitoring and self-consistency which is critical to authentic leadership
...
Godino says “Only when a
mechanism for self-monitoring exists is it possible to embody a commitment to selfconsistency”
The result is a leader who is able to inspire trust and project an image of “what you see is
what you get” However, being a truly authentic leader takes more than just self-awareness
and self-consistency
...
” The role of leaders is often
to decide what goal a team or organisation will pursue from among a variety of options
...
Determining what goals to pursue requires that a leader has
a realistic understanding of the capability of the organization and its employees
...

This quality is at the heart of optimism, and it is essential for a leader to project such
optimism because without it there's not much chance that people in the organization will feel

inspired to work to their maximum ability
...

RESILIENCY
“Resiliency is the ability to recover one´s sense of equilibrium after a stressful event”
Worldeyes, 2014
...
When these events occur, a natural
response is to experience stress and discomfort
...
Those in the latter category are said to be more resilient
...

TRANSPARENCY
It is the opposite of opaque, that is, the quality of being easy to see through
...
You cannot practice
authentic leadership if you feel the need to conceal your motives or your behavior
...

When a leader strives for transparency, they make it a priority to communicate to their team
not simply the nature of a decision and its immediate consequences but also the reasons for
taking the decision particularly if it's a sensitive one
...
The leader must be able to conceive of worthwhile goals and the means of
achieving them while at the same time have the internal strength to avoid being deterred by
setbacks and doubts
...


If you want to develop as a truly authentic leader, you would be wise to invest time and effort
into developing a consistent approach in line with your core values and at the same time
develop your optimism, personal resilience levels, and openness to others
