How to build an authentic leadership style

I’m not sure about you, but I’ve had many different bosses before. The micromanager, the best friend boss, the stoic boss — you name it, I’ve experienced it.

But out of them all, there was one supervisor who had a tremendous impact on my work, confidence, and even job satisfaction. She was always willing to listen and help, and even though I was just an intern back then, she didn’t take my opinion any less seriously. She would praise me genuinely when I did a good job and communicate tactfully but honestly with me when I messed up.

Her leadership style motivated me to be more creative, transparent, and do a good job day after day. Recently, I found out that there was actually a term for this kind of approach – it’s called “authentic leadership.”

Traditional leadership styles mostly focus on being assertive, top-down, or inspirational. But in recent years, authentic leadership, which is a more inclusive approach, has taken center stage. Its popularity may be because it has been proven to result in higher employee job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and workplace happiness.

If you are in a leadership role and want to create long-term happiness and productivity for your team, join us on August 19 to learn everything about the authentic leadership style.
