I came across a very interesting article on a business insider post. The title was "5 clear signs you 're not an authentic leader". You may be able to search the title on internet and get to the original article.
It was an interesting read. She gives 5 signs…or should I say, clear signs
1. You spend too much time talking about how busy you are - Stop wearing your busyness badge.
2. You send fancy communications or 'on behalf of' emails - People don’t read them. People don’t want fancy marketing words; they just want to hear from you like a human.
3. You're a different person in the boardroom than the breakroom - be that leader … everywhere. Not just in meeting rooms.
4. You do more talking than listening - your job isn't to know all the answers. Your job is to ask the right questions.
5. You preach work-life balance but then don't have it yourself - Stop talking about work-life balance. Demonstrate it. People don't follow your words — they follow your actions.
According to the article, those are clear signs of un-authentic leaders. Do you agree that above are indeed clear signs of “not an authentic leader”? What would you add or explain differently. Saving Changes...
