Authenticity – Sunset Academy of Leadership Training

Real leadership involves genuine and transparent authenticity.

While not always popular, it is essential.

A good friend once told me that people want to see the same guy up front leading as they greet at the back door.

Give this some thought.

We do not need a different personality when we lead, and we must not excuse such by calling it passion.

If our personality is not passionate outside of our leadership role, then why would it become so when leading?

Leading others brings many challenges and this one is difficult. However, if we want to lead others, then we need to BE REAL!

Genuineness #1

People seek a leader who is genuine, or authentic.

Several hindrances challenge the genuineness of a leader, most of which stem from self: personal agenda, money, power, position, etc.

These areas do not mean an individual cannot be genuine. However, they do hinder the development of genuineness.

How can genuineness in leadership improve?

1) Think about the influence of your words and actions before you speak or act.

2) Use knowledge, commitment, and ability to lay the foundation for decisions and actions.

3) Deliver honest criticism in a spirit of love and concern for the well being of others.
