How authentic should leaders really be?

How authentic should leaders really be?

First published by Management Today

Management Today asked a C-suite panel, including Istoria Group’s CEO, Sam Rowe, to debate whether you can bring too much of yourself to work.

When employers feel psychologically safe to be themselves, they can be honest about where their weaknesses lie and ask for support without judgement, be more productive and build genuine relationships in the workplace.

When the price of speaking off the cuff in video meetings is your reputation, it won’t be long until leaders will only be authentic if their views align with those of their team.

Here is what Sam Rowe says about how authentic leaders should be.
