authentic: the key to having a following
DESCRIPTION
Most leadership research focuses on the internal qualities and traits of the person in charge. In contrast, when we focus on the relationship between the leader and their followers, what’s needed changes according to the current context and people involved. And, the prized qualities of what makes an effective leader also changes: To have a following you need to be authentic and real. This slideshow is derived from Book Rapper's version of Goffee and Jones's best selling leadership book: Why Should Anyone Be Lead By You.TRANSCRIPT
