“Most of us want to be authentic. Yet, we are not who we think we are. We are made up of a rich array of facets and possibilities, many of which we ignore because we label them as “bad”. We create a cardboard cutout image of ourselves to look good to others. The discord between who we are and the image we have to live up to slowly kills our aliveness. When we suppress parts of ourselves, it lowers our mojo, sense of fulfillment, leadership effectiveness and impact in the workplace.” LeadershipAuthenticityFulfillmentWorkplacePossibilitiesEffectivenessAuthentic SelfDiscordAuthentic Leadership Book:Wired for Authenticity: Seven Practices to Inspire, Adapt, & Lead Source: Wired for Authenticity: Seven Practices to Inspire, Adapt, & Lead
