Episode 34: Authentic Leadership
Today we are taking a shift from sales to talk about the importance of authentic leadership. “Authentic” has been a major buzzword and we’re here to give you the straight talk on what this means for you, your business, and your leadership style.
Basically, it’s all about being the real deal. We're talking genuine, transparent, and ethical behavior. Authentic leaders strut their stuff with self-awareness and self-regulation, walking the talk and earning trust like a boss. They're not afraid to show a little vulnerability (and Amanda will talk about how much she hates this), because they know it's a sign of strength.
So that’s what we’re covering today, in a nutshell. Tune in as we take on Authentic Leadership!
