How To Be the Authentic Leader Your People Need

As we go from agent to entrepreneur, it’s easy to burn out from all the things we need to do and be. How does this connect to playing the role of a leader? How can you lead at a high level while being who you are vs. who you think you should be? Why is it so exhausting to try and adopt someone else’s leadership style? On this episode, we talk about the importance of being ourselves as leaders to avoid burning out, and to attract the right people into our world.

 

When you change yourself to appeal to a bigger group, it’s more tiresome than being who you are in a smaller group that fits your personality. -Greg Harrelson

Takeaways + Tactics

• Don’t create an identity just because that’s who you think you need to be to impress people.
• In order to pull off authenticity, we have to be willing to be vulnerable.
• Authentic leaders attract the right people, while inauthentic leaders attract a lot of people. In the end, the people who stay with you are the ones who accept you and thrive around having a leader like you.

Some leaders put on some sort of act based on what they think is necessary in order for their people to accept them. The issue is, wearing that mask and having to constantly put on that act is tiresome. We’ll get burned out and end up with the wrong people in our world. What we need to do is lead with who we are, instead of guessing who we are supposed to be. What’s more impressive than playing a role is being you. Even if you’re flawed, people appreciate authenticity.
