Inauthentic Leadership
Inauthentic leadership
In the moment
In the long-term
Manifest often in expressive, destructive emotions
Not just for the individual
Dissonance diffuses
Contagious emotions
One, others, team
Helplessness abounds
Organisations and communities, too
Appearing political at best
Mainly toxic at worst, at its core
Negativity demands attention and focus
Judgement sets in
Gets skewed
Some become paralyzed, frustrated
Others resist the leadership itself
While still others withdraw
Resonance lost
