Authenticity: "Leaders are Always On"

"Leaders are wise to behave with a consciousness of how other people might view what they do - and the awareness that people probably will view it. That requires truly authentic leaders whose characters are not mental constructions faked for the job but run deeply in their hearts and souls.

In the age of social media, instant video feeds via cell phones, and hidden surveillance cameras, this advice about authenticity increasingly applies to everyone who aspires to leadership." Rosabeth Moss Kanter
