Are You an Authentic Leader or an Authentic Jerk?

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Being your “authentic self” can undermine leadership effectiveness if it’s fueled by ego. Evidence drawn from years of collective research shows that a lived commitment to personal values is the hallmark of the type of authentic leadership that can successfully bring teams together in pursuit of positive change. Leaders can learn to practice humble authenticity by owning, managing, and sustaining their values.
