In this episode, Kami and Ishreen continue the conversation about authentic leadership with Neil Cross co-founder of Holos Change and world-renowned expert in the field of authenticity
They look at the difference in motivation between authentic leaders and boss leaders and how skilful authentic leadership creating change requires vulnerability and interdependence
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Authentic leaders aren’t motivated by status they are motivated by purpose
The difference between rulers and visionaries is that rulers impoverish the future and visionaries enhance and enrich the future
Being directive is part of authentic leadership
Authentic leadership is about both behavioural and structural elements
Leadership is fundamentally the skill of creating change and this requires vulnerability
A primary responsibility of leadership is to have the bandwidth to be strategic
When leadership is handled skilfully there is interdependence and any conflict stays at a purpose level
BEST MOMENTS
‘Personal authenticity is knowing yourself and being it skilfully in all situations’
‘Authentic leadership is about enabling others to be the best version of themselves’
‘If you don’t feel like you can be yourself you are in an environment that lacks authenticity’
