Authentic Leadership: What You See Is What You Get

This workshop is intended to provide an overall definition and description of authentic leadership. Definitions and descriptions will not only be based on scholarly articles, books, and other literature, but will also include the presenter’s views on authentic leadership through his own lens. Authentic leadership will be presented as being a leader’s genuine self in all professional and personal settings. The presenter has been a federal employee since 2008 and became a member of the Senior Executive Service (SES) in 2016. His views on authentic leadership will come from his personal experience growing as a leader in the federal government, and how his upbringing molded him into the authentic leader he is today. As part of this presentation on authentic leadership, the presenter will include experiences, anecdotes, and actions from a diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) perspective. For example, the presenter will discuss how his authentic leadership style has provided him the ability to bring DEIA into his everyday work. Working towards a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible work environment is something the presenter believes is everyone’s responsibility. Diversity comes in many forms, and his ability to recognize this has made him a better leader throughout his career. The objective of this workshop is to provide attendees with an overview of the definition of authentic leadership and what it looks like from an applied perspective. There are many workshops that provide excellent material but lack the applied aspect of what is being presented. This workshop is intended to provide both so attendees can not only understand the material, but also how to apply it in real life situations. By presenting the workshop in this manner, attendees will be better prepared to identify situations in their professional lives that can be utilized as examples in their ECQs, especially “Leading People”.
