You Don't Become the Leader by Following the Leader

Having been on the receiving end of plagiarism more times than I care to recall, I've got a bone to pick with the copycats in the entrepreneurial world.

In this episode, I unpack the adverse effects of copying on credibility and how it can quash authentic leadership. I'll tell you about instances where my work was blatantly imitated and how it threatened the distinct identity of my business. But it’s not all doom and gloom. I'll also explore the merits of collaboration over copying and how to gracefully handle accusations of copying without resorting to defensiveness.

Authentic leadership is about carving your path rather than tracing someone else’s.
