Authentic Leadership

One of the top reasons employees leave their company is they don't feel valued. They feel like a resource expended at will to reach an arbitrary goal in which they had little to no input in creating. Imagine facing every day knowing that any joy you have would be sucked away by the end of the day from meaningless tasks assigned by overly stressed bosses. Now imagine you are that boss. Wouldn't you want to change and become the leader that builds a culture of excellence where employees are valued, encouraged to grow and get better? A culture where employees are involved in not only accomplishing the mission but had a part in creating the vision behind it. An authentic leader that attracts and retains talent that builds a legacy of success in an organization.
