Regardless of the team or business someone works in, or what type of stakeholder relations or public participation process you’re planning, as a leader you need to be able to lead and engage for action. To influence stakeholders doesn’t necessarily mean you telling them what to do.

An Authentic Leader knows his or her strengths and engages others in their team or organisation using their authenticity. Equipped with these insights, the Authentic Leader can engage others to perform.

Authentic Leadership is a growing area of executive development, which management consultants are increasingly training corporate teams in. IAP2 Australasia’s Northern Region has been able to secure someone to give you insights into your authenticity that you can use back at work.

What makes you a leader?
