Credibility and trust on the agenda: Authentic leaders bring a touch of humanity
Abstract
Purpose
Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies.
Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
When asked to “state occupation” on an official form, or merely asked “And what do you do?” at a social gathering, the responses “businessman” or “banker” don't elicit the same respect they once might have done. Banking and other big business have got a bad name. Can the principles of “authentic leadership” help to rescue those reputations?
Practical implications
Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to digest format.
