AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP
Defined:
“A pattern of leader behavior that develops from and is grounded in the leader’s positive psychological qualities and strong ethics.” *
“Authentic leaders genuinely desire to serve others through their leadership. They are more interested in empowering the people they lead to make a difference than they are in power, money or prestige for themselves. They are as guided by qualities of the heart, by passion and compassion, as they are by qualities of the mind.” **
Composed of:
Self-awareness
Internalized moral perspective
Balanced processing
Relational transparency *Walumbwa, et al, 2008** George, 2003
AUTHENTIC ACTION WHEEL

BUILDING TRUST THROUGH AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP
• Trust – demonstrating that
you are trustworthy – is key to modeling the way as an effective leader
• Authenticity is a key
component of building trust with others
VALUES-BASED LEADERSHIP
Values drive vision
Moral versus Immoral leadership
Values drive commitment
You cannot commit to something that is not important to you
Values drive decisions
Values provide the criteria for choices made in both the long-term and short-term
Values Clarification
A life-long process deeply rooted in self-awareness
THE AUTHENTICITY PARADOX
• How can you balance authenticity – staying true to your self – with growth and learning?
• How does thinking critically about authenticity relate to emotional intelligence?

SETTING THE EXAMPLE BY MODELING THE WAY: AUTHENTICITY IN ACTION
Live the shared values
“Walk the Talk”
Steve’s bucket of trash
Ask purposeful questions
Seek feedback
How do others see you in terms of living the values?
Give feedback to others
Don’t let things slide if you see people acting inconsistent with the organization’s shared values
SEEKING – AND GIVING – EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK AS A LEADER
• Feedback is best given in a conversation and dialogue
• Effective leaders ask questions, listen, and ask more questions
• Leaders focus on getting and receiving coaching for improvement, not pointing out mistakes
• Effective feedback is…
• Timely
• Direct
• Actionable
