In Search of Authenticity
Authentic leadership is not a free pass to simply say what you think. Of course, authentic leadership is based on solid values and ideals, consistent behavior, and living according to one's own principles. It is also about awareness of how one's own behavior affects others, the ability to adapt to others, and emotional intelligence.
Unlike IQ, emotional intelligence, the EQ, develops throughout a lifetime. The coaching from Excellence in Mind helps people unlock their emotional potential and their professional performance and leadership abilities. Above all, authentic leaders are in harmony with themselves; they accept and like themselves. Therefore, authentic leadership is more than striving for top performance; it is rooted in a deeper self-understanding – excellence in mind.
Authentic Leadership –
the Model for a Changing World
We live in a time of constant change. The upheavals triggered by digital transformation are not only fundamental but also happening much faster than ever before. Few industries or sectors are untouched by these changes; even companies that are still riding high today face huge challenges and must initiate change where many – insiders and outsiders alike – see no need yet.
Corporate responsibility in these times is both a professional and personal challenge. On one side, there is the hunger for orientation, leadership, and vision; on the other, unpredictable dynamics that require ever faster and more short-term reactions. Leaders must constantly understand, assess, and interpret new technologies, automation, Big Data, or Blockchain, and their significance for their own company—technologies that could completely turn their business model upside down.
How to lead successfully in this tension? When competence alone is no longer enough to turn fears and worries into positive energy and create orientation? Amid digitalization, the core tasks of leaders are shifting dramatically. More than ever, purpose creators, culture shapers, and routine breakers are needed: authentic leadership personalities who know who they are, what they dream of, and are followed because they know how to build relationships with people. William George developed the model of authentic leadership at the beginning of this millennium, laying the foundation for "the gold standard for leadership" (HBR 01/2015).
