What Does It Mean to Be an Authentic Leader?

Authenticity revolves around the healthy balance between external behaviours, internal values and beliefs. Being an authentic leader takes a commitment that aims to build genuine connection and sincere guidance.?

What is an Authentic Leader?

Authentic leaders can build strong connections with others based on empathy, respect, and honesty; what it isn’t is a trend. It consists of the following internal questions: Who are you? What do I stand for? You need to answer these questions to know the stages of what a leader is. It’s very important because, as a leader, when you know what your purpose is, what you love, and what you can do best, you can lead authentically.

Characteristics of Authentic Leadership

• Honesty?
• Integrity?
• Consistency?
• Reliability
• Trust?

These are very important because if you don’t have reliability how are you going to build trust? If you aren’t honest, how are you going to maintain relationships? You have to build this as an individual and make it a part of who you are. This is not easy, it’s a journey that one takes. It's a journey that you decide to walk on and no matter what comes in your path you live your life in a certain way. What I mean by that is, yes we are currently in challenging times? with corruption and dishonesty which have led to decisions we don’t approve of such as wars. So as leaders, we need to look within ourselves to make the right decision so that we can lead authentically. So it's about your intellect and what your heart says.

You have to be fairly consistent in the way that you live your life as a leader. You can’t always be opinionated. Sometimes one has to lead from within. I always say authentic leadership is about being real, enjoying what you do, having a passion for what you do, and being consistent. Companies and individuals will do business with people they like, trust, and feel comfortable with. Achieve this and you will receive repetitive business and a well established reputation.?
