Discovering Your True North: The Journey to Authentic Leadership
Leadership isn't what it used to be. The command-and-control approach that dominated the 20th century has crumbled, exposed as unsustainable after the 2008 financial crisis. Today's emerging leaders - Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z - demand workplaces aligned with their values and leaders who are genuine rather than authoritarian. What makes a leader effective in this new landscape? Not charisma, not style, but authenticity - the ability to lead from your core values and purpose, what Bill George calls your "True North." Think about it: companies like General Electric, once the epitome of traditional leadership under Jack Welch, eventually collapsed when their focus on short-term results proved hollow. Meanwhile, authentic leaders like Howard Schultz built Starbucks as "the quintessential people-based business" focused on human connection, and Kabir Barday transformed OneTrust into America's fastest-growing startup by prioritizing employee wellbeing. The contrast couldn't be clearer - authentic leadership produces better results because it builds trust through truth-telling, transparency, and consistent actions aligned with stated values. The journey to authentic leadership begins with understanding yourself. As the book wisely notes, "The hardest person you will ever have to lead is yourself." Only by undertaking this inner journey can you effectively guide others.
