Climate anxiety, cost of living crisis, fuel poverty and general global chaos has left many feeling uncertain, stressed, and tired. This is seen in our homes, communities, and workplaces.

As leaders  our role is to create a tight and productive team, a role that currently many are finding difficult at present.  Leaders needed in the present and future are those who refuse to conform to traditional business practises and focus on supporting the whole person, not the work-bot.

A recent Gallup survey of 15,000 workers, ¼ strongly agreed that their boss cared about their wellbeing, half the percentage who said so at the beginning of the pandemic. This creates uncommitted and passive teams. So how can we flourish in the current climate – both leaders and teams?

Understanding Authentic Leadership looks to shed lights on the powers of leading with human connection and vulnerability in mind.  How leading without armour can bring out connection, productivity and a ‘hearts and minds’ buy in from team members. We look to dispel the myth that authenticity is mental health support or unicorns and rainbows, instead highlighting Authentic leadership as the critical business skill needed for the modern business which creates ownership and commitment to the work and wider organisation.
