Your tone and speaking style aren't the only aspects of your leadership voice. It reflects your underlying principles and communication abilities, which influence how you present yourself as a leader. Consider how you communicate. That is your authoritative voice. Underneath that voice is another one that shows more warmth and friendliness. This is called the "following" or "supporting" voice. It's used to convey understanding and to encourage others. If you want to be seen as an authentic leader, it's important to develop and use all three voices in your communications with others.
