Leadership starts with Authenticity

by | May 23, 2018 | Open Leadership, Response-ability, Self-Knowledge

We can all see through fakes pretty quickly.

If you are being a fake, you also can’t continue doing meaningful work for long if, at your core, you are compromising who you are.

If you want to be a leader, someone others choose to follow, start with being your authentic self.

On May 19th, yet another school shooting (I don’t really need to note that the country was the USA, do I ? ) happened at Santa Fe High School near Houston, Texas.

That same day, Art Acavedo, Chief of Police for Houston, the 5th largest in the USA, with over 5,000 officers, posted on his Facebook page. He was appointed to this role after years in other major cities where he had a major impact.

I leave you to assess the authenticity of this leader, police chief in a city and state where ownership of guns is almost a religion.
