“Be yourself.” “Bring your whole self to work.” It sounds empowering - but what if it’s actually bad advice?

That’s exactly what our host David Green explores in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, with returning guest Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic - Professor of Business Psychology at UCL and Columbia, and author of Don’t Be Yourself: Why Authenticity is Overrated (and What to Do Instead).

Together, they challenge popular leadership tropes and explore why being real doesn’t always lead to being effective - especially in today’s fast-changing, AI-driven world. So, join them as they explore:

Why authenticity is misunderstood, and when it becomes a liability
The leadership traits that actually build trust and influence
How AI is transforming the employee experience
The risks of eliminating early-career jobs in pursuit of productivity
What inclusion really requires beyond buzzwords and optics
The three ingredients every AI strategy needs to succeed
