Authentic people examine themselves honestly. They ask others to help them do so. They possess a clear purpose for their lives, a vision for their future, and core values to guide them along the way. They translate this core identity into action and live congruent with their identity in all areas of their life. Real people are not perfect.
Authentic people connect with others.
They are the people who lead and are part of successful teams. We are inspired by unaffected people because they ring true. They are the people who change the world. True leaders look in the mirror and see themselves and the organization honestly. They become continuous learners willing to gain insight from others.
