Importance of leaders being authentic and vulnerable
Leaders need to come out of the psychological closet and show authenticity and vulnerability in their leadership roles. Many leaders feel they need to hide their emotions and project a professional image, but this can hinder effectiveness and connection with their followers. It is important for leaders to reflect the concerns and aspirations of their followers in order to build a strong connection. Authenticity does not mean leaders should show all aspects of themselves, but rather reflect the parts that resonate with their followers' concerns and aspirations.
