Why is Authentic Leadership important?
‘People don’t leave companies, they leave managers.’
In order to lead others effectively, we must first be effectively lead ourselves and set an example within the organisation. At Adalta, we don’t start simply with what makes a good leader; instead, we find it more powerful to turn this on its head and start with what makes someone choose to follow a leader.
Every leader faces the temptation to project a persona rather than be themselves. They think that to maintain the confidence of their team, they must appear faultless, flawless and wise. Yet most organisations need an authentic leader, not a perfect one. Today’s leader must develop the art of self-awareness. Don’t try to emulate someone else – start by simply being yourself. Share and be honest about your own struggles. Live and act according to your values. By doing this, you’ll immediately gain influence.
People follow those who listen, care, and lead with integrity. Leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about asking the right questions and growing with your team.
This Authentic Leadership Development course helps participants to hold up the mirror and really challenge themselves as an authentic leader.
