Authentic leadership is important at all levels, from team leader and middle manager levels through to more strategic senior leadership positions.  

Often first-time managers aren’t equipped with the personal development and team management skills needed to succeed, perhaps instead earning their position through technical knowledge and hard work. Building trust and loyalty amongst colleagues will be important, and authentic leadership will help managers to understand more about themselves and their leadership style. 

For more senior leaders, it is how collectively the team(s) can work together to achieve success, and how they as leaders can engage, motivate and promote a positive organisational culture.  

Anyone can become a successful and effective authentic leader. To be authentic requires self-awareness, alignment with values, emotional intelligence, and an openness to growth.  

Most leadership training courses will take a more skills-based approach, using management techniques for certain situations, whereas authentic leadership will look within the person, supporting them to develop personally and professionally as a leader, staying true to themselves. 

By practicing behaviours consistently, such as practicing having open conversations, taking a balanced approach to diverse perspectives or taking time for critical self-reflection, individuals can cultivate authentic leadership skills that make a lasting impact on their teams and wider organisations.
