The phrase “Authentic Leadership” has gained currency over the last few years but what exactly does it mean? How does “leadership” become “authentic”? Well, its probably fair to say that most people fall into leadership (e.g., senior management) roles. The route many (most?) people take is that they get a job somewhere, find out they're pretty good at the technical stuff, get promoted, quite like the extra responsiblity/kudos and get promoted a couple more times. Sound familiar?
