EP #225: 6 Actions for Authentic Leadership

Robert DePasquale

You have to be accurate and reliable to be authentic.

I don’t know any leaders that would disagree with that but why does it seem so hard to be those things?

It’s because we are very distracted by the world. Our greatest focus will produce our greatest results. If you’re trying to build a generous culture in your life and your workplace, you have to spend the time on these things.

Great leaders will radically chase after generosity. They will give when others expect them to take - and it’s not fake (nice rhyme, huh? 😉). That’s authentic.

I have 6 actions for you to take. Yes, actions. You have to do more than listen to me and write these things down. They are actions that will display your authenticity, inspire your team, and grow your business. 📈
