Leadership has always been more difficult in challenging times, but now more than ever, the challenges facing today’s organizations necessitate finding and developing premier leadership talent. Effective leaders have evolved into those who can best oversee change in our organizations. Something about these particular leaders enables them to transform organizations and move people to much higher levels of satisfaction, commitment and performance. How do they do it?
Authentic leadership is an emerging leadership style that focuses on:
Authentic leaders are confident, hopeful and resilient. They lead from their own convictions, values and personal points of view, and set high ethical standards for themselves, others, and their organizations. So while authentic leaders value and preserve diversity, they also enable a community of people that share a similar mindset.
Is this type of leadership about what leaders do—or merely who they are? Also, how do these leaders come to know themselves?
