- Trust – Authentic leadership requires a person to grow in trustworthiness. Then others are more likely to rely on that person’s initiative or direction. The resulting impact on productivity, teamwork and collective satisfaction, therefore, is enhanced.
- Relationships – Often overlooked, the power of a leader’s integrity can provide a vital framework for effective collaboration among staff, co-workers or even a community. When a leader demonstrates humility, forgiveness and honesty in one’s own relationships, the effect is revolutionary, positive and potentially far-reaching.
- Understanding and wisdom – Without a deep and central understanding of one’s “true north” a leader may flounder or even fail.
- Excellence – Ancient wisdom also confirms that, “We are what we repeatedly do.” Excellence, then, is not a one-time action, but a habit.
