info_outline FFP 033: Leadership AgilityFuture Focused Podcast
How agile are you as a leader? It’s important to know.
info_outlineIn this episode of the Future Focused Podcast, I explain why authenticity is essential to leadership and how we can build and keep our authenticity.
When asked what is the most important action a person can take to improve as a leader, I always answer with build trust. The best way to build sustainable trust is through authenticity, and the fastest way to destroy trust is to demonstrate a lack of authenticity.
One of the most important ways we can build trust is by living in authentic life. Authenticity is the glue that holds leadership together without it a leader falls apart.
Show me someone who has failed as a leader at an epic level whether on television, in the newspaper, in politics, or anywhere, and I’ll tell you someone who has a problem with authenticity. They simply lived one way but let others believe they were living another. Once people recognize you are not who you say you are, they will no longer follow allow themselves to be influenced by you.
I’ve written about the six core elements of leadership and authenticity is the sixth. You could be super strong and all the other five but be weak and authenticity and the rest will crumble.
You need to know your values. You need to proclaim your values. And most importantly you need to live your values. I find so many people who want to be great leaders and yet they do not do any of these three. They don’t truly know what they value. They don’t let people know what they value. And therefore they can’t what they value. They are all over the place. Living our values is what other people see and that is how we build trust with them.
This episode will help you become a better leader.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy week to level-up and get better.
