Rebels with a Cause: Exploring the Element of Authenticity Part 2:

In Part 2 of the episode on authenticity, the panel discusses authentic leadership in practice. Sahand reflects about his observation of authentic leadership (AL) in his career and what qualities are essential for authentic leaders, especially from the perspective of those just starting their careers. The importance of developing self-awareness and having authentic leadership mentors is highlighted.

From a mid-career perspective, Jacklyn shares that self-doubt is part of one’s entire leadership journey, not just in early career stages. Confidence comes with practice and by having a support system or “circle of influence” in place.

Later in career, Wendy reports that in her experience, mid to late career leaders can become complacent and perhaps “over confident” and rate themselves as more effective and authentic than others do. Humility and self-awareness are key in this stage of career to help retain authenticity.

The panel also explores the influence of authentic leadership, civility norms in the workplace and the possibility of burnout and turnover among early career health professionals who are subjected to co-worker incivility. Reasons for workplace incivility, the role of health leaders in role modelling civility and authentically challenging incivility is discussed.
