Authentic leaders are able to move into other people's hearts are in great demand. Living authentically is the be-all-and-end-all for finding inner peace, gaining more confidence and after their true calling, all of which in turn helps to make this planet a better place. We all have a fully connected with our souls, when we are born. However, while we were growing up we lost the connection to our true self. Fear rules our lives, we are concerned that perhaps would never amount to anything, that others would not accept us the way we really are. Together with the constant fear of uncertainty. We often agree on anything and everything, trying to guess and to meet the unspoken needs of others. Why do we act this way? The answer is simple. We always receive a reward for such behavior. For a fleeting moment, we feel needed and acknowledged. We appreciate and respect a lot more praise than listening to the heart. But remember, no one else but only you can assign a sincere love, praise and recognition for your unique self. Authenticity can not be acquired or learned. Authenticity can only be re-lay it is always in our hearts. This requires that the love of everything good that you can see and accept their shortcomings and the fact that they are imperfect. To become a credible leader of the pie, then return to their authenticity by embarking on an intensive and sometimes long journey beginning with the first acquaintance with the true self, followed by one inch by inch process:
Develop self-esteem and fall in love with themselves: Self-esteem has nothing to do with selfishness as many people claim. Today we are all well connected electronically, but very often linked with our own hearts and souls. Many people are unaware of their true values lie within them. Instead, they consistently seek recognition in the outside world and play a role in order to receive praise. Living truly requires spending lots of time to get to know their own strengths, values, and weakness, feelings and what you really want out of life. Know that only the first following your heart and respect yourself you will be able to touch others' hearts. Be so proud of your true self. Celebrate your small successes on a daily basis, and jot them in a separate volume you always carry with you. One of the key characters of authentic leaders is that they are anchored by its own deep sense of self.
Live Your Passion: Do you love or love the job you are doing that job! Anything else leads to depression, burn-out and loss of confidence. Ideally you choose a job that is one hundred percent in accordance with the authentic call. You will learn and gain some leadership skills during his career. However, I am convinced that leadership is not the role you are playing, or you learned professions. It is the right call. In this sense, authentic leaders are the first "born" with innate leadership qualities, and only later "is" through the acquisition of certain skills. By mixing up his courage to be true to yourself with a selection of authentic leadership as a call to develop a "lethal" combination of moving the hearts of people.
Find your life purpose: The purpose of your internal compass, fuel deeper meanings in their lives and work. The purpose is the fundamental objective of its existence the organization. Your goal is not about creating and fixing things. To find you ask yourself what would you choose to do, if you had unlimited time and resources? What would you do if money is not important? What activities are considered the greatest value?
Living by our values: To live and lead originally meant to stand your values and beliefs that are most dear. Values provide important guidance when you are looking for a new job, get promoted or chosen a new working environment. Identify your values that you wonder: When I was the happiest? When I forget time and to live fully in the "here and now"? What activities can enjoy the most and why?
They have a great vision: All the great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi (Mahatma means "great soul") are great visionaries whose dreams include contact impossible. In order to move things and people, there must be a first sight. Dare to create a vision, even if they are dismissed as naive, too idealistic or utopian. The purpose of the fuel you have identified a vision, a vision and passion ignites passion breeds courage. As an authentic leader will face criticism and ridicule may be considered non-conformists. So you need a lot of courage and thick skin. Your vision will help to build both.
Identify what holds you back: Most people feel an urgent desire to follow their hearts. But most remain stuck in the middle and do not dare to move out of their comfort zone. Fear of failure, rejection, reality, getting really know yourself, the fear that will never do us an account of the main reasons preventing the exploitation of our vast potential lying dormant in our true selves. Remember, what you resist persists. So, feel the fear and do it anyway. Embrace your fear and understand the message he wants to reveal to you.
Synchronize your "true self" with his company's soul: Ask yourself, is of a soul that is reflected in the corporate vision, mission and values aligned with your true self? Does your current working and living environment that enable you to live up to its unique value and meaning of life? This is a crucial acid test and it requires you to be brutally true to yourself as a true answer to the questions above. If your personal values and sense of life in conflict with those of your company will never be able to ignite a fire within their employees.
Advantage: Authentic leadership is all about people! This sounds very logical and simple, but too many people in leadership positions do not like to deal with "people issues". There is nothing bad about it. But again, you should be honest with yourself. If you do not like to work as a 'people' person, do not go for it! You will never stand in your job as a leader and you will be comfortable relating one-on-one with people at all levels of the organization, which will lead to rapid loss of its credibility and confidence.
Communication: Authentic leaders genuinely communicate with empathy and clarity. In fact, developing a real passion for the lively and open communication. They have developed tremendous power to act according to what their hearts tell them respecting the other person's needs, feelings and principles. Therefore, listening to the heart of others in order to earn my respect and ensure the other person that he or she has heard and understood is the main foundation of true leadership communication. Do not just show little real interest in the work of its employees. Take time to see them spontaneously at least once a week, which is building a high degree of integrity. Forget completely about communicating via e-mail, which often leads to misunderstandings and a low degree of credibility.
Many other attributes such as justice, compassion or the ability to set clear objectives and account for the critical feature of great leaders. But believe me, they are either a natural result of living up to these principles, or can easily acquire. Forget the confusing number of theories about effective leadership. Only the key is to regain his true self, to live authentically and to follow the lead as a true calling. Then the rest of the world will follow you!
