I watched half a the video then wrote my personal thoughts here after: - Be yourself. Your behaviour is what you think you really are, it translate and reflects your thoughts and believes. - There is no distorsions between what you think about yourself and your actions. - Your internal side should be exactly the same than your exterior side. - Be humble. - Help others as much as you can. - No lies - Commit to your promesses - Try to put yourself in other people's shoes, understand them, be indulgent but also try to balance fairness and tolerance. - Be smart by choosing the right time and circumstances to criticize or advise others and when doing so, try to be aware about probable, emotions and biases, that may interfere, yours and those of your interlocutor. - Be solution oriented rather than being an accuser and point your finger towards solutions rather than people. - Recognize your mistakes, understand their reasons, and do not repeat them. - Put your pride aside, except and with zero tolerance, when it comes to your integrity. - Control yourself and your anger and be patient. -. Don't be embarrassed to say that you don't know and ask the right questions . And encourage others to do so. - Be more a good listener than a talker and do speak only when necessary. - Speak less and do more - Promote and encourage team and group work,. because when wisely planned and coordinated , obtained results are largely much better than separate individual efforts. there is no single reality but several ways of seeing the same reality so it is better to benefit from the different angles of view that each member of the group can bring. - Group work and ideas enhance mutual awareness of each other's constraints and challenges, help find feasible solutions and gain group consensus thus each team members adhere to their implementation. -Be grateful to anyone who has helped - Be the first one to criticize yourself and very very careful to others criticism, don't take it personally and always assess yourself with regards to values and concrete results. - Be careful before considering personal compliments made to you as a reward. You need to clear and purify them from emotions, because if not, they may lead you to vanity and to a distorted image of yourself and the reality. - Thank others for their efforts and work. - Don't steel other people's success and give back to cesar what is to cesar. - Share and celebrate team success. - Don't ask more than you think you worth. - Be generous in effort , share experience, ideas and knowledge. - Help others to progress. - For better improvement, be clever in drawing the right conclusions when analysing the lessons learned from failure and success From my humble point of view I don't consider the authenticity as a kind of skill to acquire to get a job or to get promotion it's about the real you and the real guidance leading your life as a whole.that will mark the workplace. To tell it in a metaphorical way I will say : when you stand in front of a mirror you will see your soul rather than your face and body. Nice and easy to write but really difficult and requires a lot of continuous effort to maintain a constant state of consciousness to what you commit to and put it into practice Now, I can watch the second part of the video. Have a nice day
Wow! Thank you, Tarek. You say you don't see authenticity as a kind of skill to acquire. And you are right. Yet, we too easily get used to putting on a show. And that is something we need to unlearn, if we are to present our authentic selves in certain circumstances.
Hello again. We study Bill George quite a bit in graduate school at American Public University. Do you take video requests? It would be interesting to hear you talk about how leadership is not always objective but subjective instead. For instance, here in Yorktown, Virginia, we were taught Cornwallis was a bit of a coward for not surrendering his sword to George Washington on October 19, 1781. However, in England, he was welcomed home a hero and went on to have an esteemed military career. The new Napoleon movie will be released on November 22, 2023. Some people consider him a good guy and some people consider him a bad guy. Perhaps you could tie that movie into your leadership video. The War of 1812 is taught here in schools, but shockingly to me, I have read comments from several British TH-camrs who have never heard of the war at all previously. They say that history is written by the winners, and it seems the view of leaders might be written by the winners as well.
Even setting aside the cliché that nobody ever wins a war, I think we should view 1812 as a score draw. I don't think either side had a clear win. The resulting transatlantic alliance was a big win for both, and formed in the wake of 1812 and has remained pretty solid ever since. Sadly, this is a part of history not on the syllabus for our main public exams (at age 16) in the UK so, whilst most of us grow up knowing about the Romans, the Normans, the Tudors, the Victorians, and the two World Wars... most of the rest of history is not known here except by historians and history enthusiast. It's not a history written by the winners thing - more of a thing about having more history than will fit on a high-school syllabus thing. Bear in mind that the pre-16-year-old syllabus spans 2000 years here - and multiple countries because... you know: empire. I know a little of 1812, but mostly the literary highlights: Star Spangled McHenry, Charred building repainted white, the war at sea (late 18th and early 19th-century naval fiction is a favorite), and, of course, the war in the north (a lot of naval officers played a part + the last of the Mohicans - cue the music). I heard about the Cornwallis thing in a recent podcast, but I don't recall the discussion. I'm interested in your topic, but know that it's too subtle for this channel. It might work on my @ManagementCourses channel (Currently rolling out a course on leadership there) - but it's likely to be too subtle for that too. I will add it to my backlog, but I can't make any promises on this one. www.youtube.com/@ManagementCourses
Servant leader can be authentic leader but an authentic leader cannot be a servant leader. That's the reality! Servant leadership conforms to the values and character of servant leadership while authentic leadership is so free style. Restrain is important in all leadership and that is missing in authentic leaders.
I would argue that an authentic leader can serve. Authenticity and a servant mindset are orthogonal attitudes - we can haven none, one, or both and that neither interferes with the other.
A very helpful video on leadership, but the delivery could be better. For instance, not to lower the voice on important point and follow a wave pattern of high and low voice. Overall a good video.
LoL - I know you are joking, but let me explain for anyone reading this. Authenticity is not about 'knowing' how you are (awareness). It is about displaying yourself openly and honestly. A narcissist who owns up to their narcissism could be authentic. But the in nature of narcissism, as I understand it, it deceit. So, I suspect authenticity isn't an option for a true narcissist.
I guess you teach PM courses and now you have chosen to discuss about authenticity. This is my feedback, over the course of this video you have used at least 3 or more occasions quotes and books that’s not yours, when you use someone else’s work to attract people or to get your message across, and you talk about authenticity. I guess you need to look yourself in the mirror. What you teach is not inline with the person you are unfortunately. Thanks
Oh very nicely played. Great piece of sophistry. 1. do I need to demonstrate authenticity to teach authenticity? You argue yes. I say no - I am answering a question here, in a way that will help people know, rather than show off my own authenticity. But... 2. I'd argue I am being authentic. This is how I approach my videos. Watch 10 others and tell me this one is not authentic to my own style. and finally... 3. Franky, I don't care what you think. You don't get to tell me how to be authentic. I will be who I am and do what I wish. As for you... Watch the video. Don't watch the video. As you choose. If you really don't like it, hit the thumbs down a second time!
No need to be too defensive but rather learn more from mistakes. Feedback is all about expressing how we feel and you need feedback from viewers in order to grow and improve. They say (losers react and leaders participate). Try to look at emotional intelligence areas. Thanks 🙏

From my humble point of view I don't consider the authenticity as a kind of skill to acquire to get a job or to get promotion it's about the real you and the real guidance leading your life as a whole.that will mark the workplace.
