Authenticity & Vulnerability

Part of being an authentic leader is finding, and applying, the optimal alignment between who you are at home and who you are at work. This requires bravery and constant adjustments! It also requires you to manage your ego and ideally putting it aside completely. Leadership starts from within ourselves - by getting to know ourselves, our strengths, our blind spots, our limits, our values and our beliefs.
