This chapter discusses the blending of professionalism and emotional expression in leadership roles, exploring the expectation for professionals to hide their emotions while being open and honest. It delves into the idea of leaders suppressing their own emotions and the implications of adopting a professional persona. The chapter questions the limitations of traditional leadership definitions and emphasizes the importance of leaders bringing their authentic selves, including vulnerabilities, to create stronger connections with followers.
