What is an authentic leader?
'Authentic leaders are those who are committed to a purpose or a mission; people who live by their values everyday and who know the true north of their moral compass. They lead with their heart, not just with their heads, and have compassion for the people they serve. They do so with the discipline and commitment to get great results, not just for their shareholders but for all their stakeholders, their customers, their employees, and their shareholders as well as for the communities they serve. This sounds old fashioned and yet almost revolutionary.'
These are the words of Bill George, ex-CEO and teaching at Harvard Business School. He believes that the downfall of Enron, Arthur Anderson, Tyco, WorldCom and many companies like them is a result of not having the right leaders to run our companies, and not incentivizing them properly. Authentic leaders are needed.
Why it's hard to do what's right?
