Authenticity

I heard many people saying that a good leader is an authentic person.

Is authenticity a trait of leadership?

May be we are seeking a real person showing her feelings and vulnerability that we can relate?

Or we are seeking someone that we can depend on by knowing that she will do or deliver certain expected results?

In any rate, when you like her as a leader, you know her persona, her worldview, her action and reaction…

If she behaves like a crazy, unpredictable, then you may say, “This is unreal. This is not her.”

Being a leader calls her to be consistent to deliver, to lead, to head on forward, no matter what happens.

Authenticity means consistency for a leader.
