Authentic leaders the kind of trust that build creates success within an organization.
To be authentic, leaders must have the self-awareness, the self-honesty, and the humility to recognize when their own direction and actions are not in the best interest of the company. They have an open mind to receiving input from the people who work for them. They give credit to the people who are helping them make the best decisions to create success throughout their organization.
