What Makes an “Authentic” Leader?

About this episode

How do you define authenticity as a leader? Herminia Ibarra, a professor of organizational behavior at London Business School, says that if you want to grow as a leader, you must leave your comfort zone. In this episode, you’ll learn how to try out new leadership behaviors in lower stakes, less visible settings while you improve your skills. You’ll also learn how to balance authenticity with vulnerability when you communicate with your team.
