Discussion Board #$1$

This week we explore the topic of Authentic Leadership. It's a powerful tool in leadership that has shown to be effective in both assigned and emergent forms. First, please discuss the benefits of adopting authentic leadership for both the leader and others at work.

Further, please consider that although research has shown multiple benefits, so many of us struggle in showing our authentic selves at work. Please discuss some reasons why leaders may shy away from showing who they really are.
