๐ Roger's Read of the Week ๐ Exploring 'Leadership BS' by Jeffrey Pfeffer
Diving into 'Leadership BS' by Jeffrey Pfeffer revealed a social science-backed reality check on leadership myths. Amidst the revelations, one idea hit homeโthe concept of Authentic Leadership. Pfeffer challenges the notion of always bringing your authentic self to work. Instead, he suggests leaders must adapt to the team's and organization's needs. This means setting aside personal feelings and embodying the role required in the moment. Pfeffer's audacious questionโwhat if your authentic self isn't ideal?โforces us to rethink the authenticity trend. As we evolve, staying true to changing selves might be the authentic leadership we seek. ๐๐ผ
