THE 5 CHARACTERISTICS

OF EFFECTIVE

AUTHENTIC LEADER


13/49

1.Authentic leaders possess insight

Sometimes we think of this as vision. While thisis important, leaders need more. They also needwisdomthe ability to see issues from a

broader perspective, understand the principlesinvolved, and recognize the best course ofaction for all concerned.


14/49

2. Authentic leaders demonstrate

initiative.

They dont sit on the sidelines, waiting untilthey have absolute certainty to act. Nor do theyask others to do what they are unwilling to do

themselves. Instead, they go first, leading byexample. They dontlet fear hold them back.


15/49

3.Authentic leaders exude influence.

The words influence and influenza come from thesame root word. Real leaders are contagious.People catch what they have. People aredrawn to their vision and their values. They are

able to gather a following and move people toaction.


16/49

4.Authentic leaders have impact.

The world is changed because of theirleadership. They are able to create real andlasting change. Unless something has shifted,they arent leaders; they are only entertainers.Impact is the difference that separates realleaders form posers.


17/49

5.Authentic leaders manifest

integrity.

Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, and Josef Stalin allpossessed insight, initiative, influence, andimpact. Yet their lives were not integrated with

the highest values. Integrity ultimatelydetermines the quality of a persons impactand their legacy.

Research

25/49


26/49

In business today, we frequently 'swallow our truth'. We say

things to please others and to look good in front of The Crowd.Authentic leaders are different. They consistently talk truth.They would never betray themselves by using words that are notaligned with who they are. This does not give anyone a license tosay things that are hurtful to people. Speaking truth is simply

about being clear, being honest and being authentic.

1. They speak their truth


27/49

2.They lead from the heart

Business is about people. Leadership is about people. Thebest leaders wear their hearts on their sleeves and are notafraid to show their vulnerability. They genuinely care aboutother people and spend their days developing the peoplearound them. They are like the sun: the sun gives away all ithas to the plants and the trees. But in return, the plants and

the trees always grow toward the sun.


28/49

Who you are speaks far more loudly than anything you couldever say. Strength of character is true power - and people can

feel it a mile away. Authentic leaders work on their character.They walk their talk and are aligned with their core values. Theyare noble and good. And in doing so, people trust, respect andlisten to them.

3.They have rich moral fiber


29/49

It takes a lot of courage to go against the crowd. It takes a lot

of courage to be a visionary. It takes a lot of inner strength todo what you think is right even though it may not be easy. Welive in a world where so many people walk the path of leastresistance. Authentic leadership is all about taking the road lesstraveled and doing, not what is easy, but what is right.

4.They are courageous


30/49

One of the primary things that people are looking for in their

work experience is a sense of community. In the old days, wegot our community from where we lived. We would have blockparties and street picnics. In the new age of work, employeesseek their sense of community and connection from theworkplace. Authentic leaders create workplaces that fosterhuman linkages and lasting friendships.

5.They build teams and create

communities.


31/49

The job of the leader is to go deep. Authentic leaders know

themselves intimately. They nurture a strong self-relationship.They know their weaknesses and play to their strengths. Andthey always spend a lot of time transcending their fears.

6.They deepen themselves


32/49

Einstein said that, "Imagination is more important thanknowledge." It is from our imaginations that great things are

born. Authentic leaders dare to dream impossible dreams. Theysee what everyone else sees and then dream up newpossibilities. They spend a lot of time with their eyes closedcreating blueprints and fantasies that lead to better products,

better services, better workplaces and deeper value. How oftendo you close your eyes and dream?

7.They are dreamers


33/49

Taking care of your physical dimension is a sign of self-respect.You can't do great things at work if you don't feel good.Authentic leaders eat well, exercise and care for the templesthat are their bodies. They spend time in nature, drink plenty ofwater and get regular massages so that, physically, they are

operating at planet-class levels of performance.

8.They care for themselves


34/49

No human being is perfect. Every single one of us is a work in

progress. Authentic leaders commit themselves to excellence ineverything that they do. They are constantly pushing theenvelope and raising their standards. They do not seek perfectionand have the wisdom to know the difference. What would your

life look like if you raised your standards well beyond whatanyone could ever imagine of you?

9.They commit to excellence rather

than perfection.


35/49

To live in the hearts of the people around you is to never die.Success is wonderful but significance is even better. You were

made to contribute and to leave a mark on the people aroundyou. In failing to live from this frame of reference, you betrayyourself. Authentic leaders are constantly building theirlegacies by adding deep value to everyone that they deal withand leaving the world a better place in the process.

10. They leave a legacy.

40/49

Fulfills societys expressed need for

trustworthy leadership. Fills a void in anuncertain world. Provides broad guidelines for those who

want to become authentic leaders. Bothpractical and theoretical approaches providea map.

Like transformational and servant leadership,AL has an explicit moral dimension.

Unlike traits that only some people exhibit,everyone can learn to be more authentic.

Can be measured using an establishedinstrument (ALQ).

Strengths


41/49

The theory is still in the formative stages, so someconcepts in the practical approaches are not fullydeveloped or substantiated.

The moral component of AL is not fully explained. Itsunclear how higher values such as justice inform

authentic leadership. The rationale for including positive psychological

capacities as a part of AL has not been clearlyexplained by researchers.

The link between authentic leadership and positiveorganizational outcomes is unclear. It is also notclear whether AL is sufficient to achieveorganizational goals.

Criticisms


42/49

Application

People have the capacity to become authentic leaders.It is a lifelong learning process.

Human Resource departments may be able to fosterauthentic leadership behaviors in employees who moveinto leadership positions.

Leaders are always trying to do the right thing, to behonest with themselves and others, and to work forthe common good.

Leaders are shaped by critical life events that lead togrowth and greater authenticity.
