The answer is a resounding yes!<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Studies show that leaders that are viewed as authentic inspire trust and loyalty, they build strong and lasting relationships, and their team members strive to be higher performers with a desire to achieve team goals.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Bill George, author, former CEO at Medtronic, and Senior Fellow at Harvard Business School says &#8220;<i>authentic leaders are driven by a moral and ethical purpose and never lose sight of their core values and principles. They lead with their hearts, cultivate long-term relationships and demonstrate excellence through self-discipline&#8221;.<\/i><\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">In his book\u00a0<u>Authentic Leadership<\/u>, Mr. George defines 5 dimensions of leadership that he feels true leaders must develop. Excerpts include:<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">1. Understanding your purpose<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">To find your purpose you must first understand yourself, your passions and your motivations. You may need to experience several organizations before you find the right fit.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">2. Practicing solid values<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Values are shaped by personal beliefs, developed through study, introspection,<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">consultation, and a lifetime of experience with integrity being most crucial.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">3. Leading with heart<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Engaging the hearts of your employees provides a competitive advantage. When employees believe their work has purpose their results will surpass those that don\u2019t.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">4.\u00a0<b>Establishing enduring relationships<\/b><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">An effective leader does more than create strategies, structure and processes. Having an open relationship builds trust and commitment which leads to success and higher levels of performance.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">5. Demonstrating self-discipline<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Without self-discipline you cannot gain the respect of your followers. Values must be demonstrated through consistent actions. If we fall short, we must admit our mistakes.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">In summary, authentic leaders:<\/span><br \/><ul><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">understand the importance of relationships\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">make others feel empowered and they acknowledge the value others provide<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #333333;\">utilize their magic dust\u2122 (and that of others) and blend passion and compassion with critical thinking<\/span><\/li><\/ul><br \/><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Do you view yourself as an authentic leader?
