People think authenticity is being unfiltered.
That's not true.
7 proven tips to start leading with authenticity:
1/ Engage in self-reflection ↳ Reflect on your values, beliefs, and motivations. Set aside time regularly to do so.
2/ Commit to honesty ↳ Strive to be open, particularly when uncomfortable or inconvenient. This includes admitting mistakes.
3/ Align actions with values ↳ Make tough choices and stand up for your beliefs. Walk the talk.
4/ Share fears and doubts ↳ Confide in your friends and colleagues. In vulnerability, there is strength.
5/ Practice mindfulness ↳ Be present in the moment and be fully engaged. Actively listen to others without judgment.
6/ Seek feedback ↳ Ask for feedback and be open to change. Close the loop by acting on it.
7/ Cultivate self-compassion ↳ Be kind to yourself, particularly during setbacks.
PS: Authenticity is about closing the gap between what we think, say, and do.
