Be the Leader You’d Want to Follow

Being Authentic is the Most Important Factor in Leadership Success!

Authentic leaders are not afraid to show their emotions, their vulnerabilities. They connect with their employees. They are self-aware and genuine. Mission-driven and focused on results. They lead with their heart and focus on the long term. Authentic Leadership emphasizes building leaders legitimacy through honest relationships built on the values of Respect, Trust and Integrity.

Think of someone in your life you admire and respect. Would you trust them with your finances, your home, your children, your future, your life? Why?

You probably feel they are authentic – they’re trustworthy. You feel comfortable and safe with them. They don’t play games. They’re truthful, straightforward, honest, open and sincere. They do what they say they’re going to do. You can rely on them. There is a saying in the horse world – “All bonds are built on trust.” Without it, you have nothing.

So… What makes people follow you? What makes people trust you? How about respect? Do people feel comfortable and confident in your leadership qualities and abilities to lead them?

A horse will follow the “herd leader” as long as they believe in them…no matter the terrain, weather or complications they encounter. Would people “follow you into battle?” Through the eyes of your teams and customers, do they see you as their “herd leader?” Betti’s keynote will help you identify the areas you need to change in order to become the herd leader in your organization.

Authenticity, trust, integrity and respect all impact in your relationships and success!
