Authentic Leadership (HBR Emotional Intelligence Series) by Harvard Business Review, Bill George, Herminia Ibarra, Rob Goffee, Gareth Jones

Product Details

About the Book

Authentic Leadership is part of Harvard Business Review's popular Emotional Intelligence Series, a collection that distills the most essential HBR articles on the emotional and interpersonal dimensions of effective leadership. This volume focuses on a question every leader eventually confronts: what does it actually mean to lead as yourself, rather than as an imitation of someone else's style?

Bringing together seminal articles from leading voices — including Bill George's foundational thinking on true, values-driven leadership, Herminia Ibarra's research challenging the conventional wisdom that authenticity means "always being yourself," and Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones's exploration of what makes some leaders more inspiring than others — the collection examines the tension between staying true to one's own values and adapting to the demands of leading others effectively. Rather than treating authenticity as a fixed, static trait, the volume explores how genuine leadership often requires growth, adaptability, and even discomfort, helping readers understand how to develop their own leadership style, build trust with the people they lead, and stay grounded in their values even as their responsibilities and challenges evolve.
