The Heart of Leadership: 6 Signs of an Authentic Leader Credit to Steven Claes. Follow him for posts on Leadership - HR and Culture. Original post: __________ I used to think being a leader meant having all the answers. Boy, was I wrong! True leaders aren't perfect. They're real. They're human. Just like you and me. I've learned that authentic leadership isn't about being the smartest or the strongest. It's about being honest, kind, and always trying to do better. Here are 6 things that make a leader truly authentic: → They know themselves inside and out → They never stop learning and growing → They stick to what's right, even when it's hard → They share their thoughts and feelings openly → They understand feelings - their own and others' → They listen to different ideas before making choices Want to be a great leader? Try these: → Learn something new and share it with others → Ask for feedback - even if it's tough to hear → Make time to really listen to your team → Say "I'm sorry" when you mess up → Stand up for what you believe in → Show kindness every single day You don't have to be perfect to lead. You just have to be real.💚 PS. What's one way you'll be more authentic today? __________ 📌 Get instant access to viral visuals you can personalize and post to grow your LinkedIn → ProfileBoost.com
