What is authentic leadership?
A living question... add in your questions or observations...
"The everyday practice is simply to develop a complete acceptance and openness to all situations and emotions, and to all people, experiencing everything totally, without mental reservations and blockages, so that one never withdraws or centralizes into oneself. This produces a tremendous energy, which is usually locked up in the process of mental evasion and generally running away from life experiences."

Synchronzing body and mind is something we address at Naropa and in Authentic Leaderhip program.
“Authentic Leadership: When the mind, heart, and actions are synchronized with purpose, values, and mission.” — Steve Demos, Founder and former CEO, WhiteWave Foods from lecture at Naropa January 30, 2007
From Dictionary.com
au·then·tic
[aw-then-tik] –adjective
| 1. | not false or copied; genuine; real: an authentic antique. |
| 2. | having the origin supported by unquestionable evidence; authenticated; verified: an authentic document of the Middle Ages; an authentic work of the old master. |
| 3. | entitled to acceptance or belief because of agreement with known facts or experience; reliable; trustworthy: an authentic report on poverty in Africa. Susan Skjei has also emphasized the importance of being in touch with the world around us -- perhaps this can be thought of as 'synchronizing' with others and the situation. This is in contrast to a common idea that being authentic is about "speaking my truth" in an isolated context. Dictionary.com from etymology -- Authentic implies that the contents of the thing in question correspond to the facts and are not fictitious; Perhaps we are talking synchronzing our body and mind -- and that this help us percieve things as they are and therefore -- our view of the situation has greater chance of 'corresponding to the facts.' I think there is more to this related to embodiment and with the idea of resonance, but I will leave that to others to explore... |
