How to become an authentic leader

There are five essential dimensions of an authentic leader: purpose, values, heart, relationships and self-discipline.



Principles when leading a team:

• Define your ethical values and ideals of leadership. Those values should guide your decisions as a leader.
• Practice self-reflection through journaling, self-awareness exercises, or investing in a career coach to identify your strengths, weaknesses and thought processes.
• Foster relational transparency. People will like working with you if you are transparent about your thought processes.
