Authentic leadership, character-based leader, Character-based Leadership, VideoOne of the things we like to promote here at Lead Change is members who inspire us to lead from who we are rather than our position. With our character as the source of inspiration and influence we act as authentic leaders; not perfect but genuine, always seeking the best for the group rather than just for ourselves.
Recently Erin Schreyer(@ErinSchreyer) of Sagestone Partners and Authentic Leadership Cincinnati commissioned a video based on her thoughts on authentic, character-based leadership. It's titled You Are A Leader. Take a look.

Let’s keep encouraging each other and the rest of the world…because we CAN make a difference!!!
LEAD ON, friends!!! After all, YOU ARE A LEADER!!
It’s a great video and you clearly articulate the passion we share. I hope thousands see it.

Easier said than done! The thoughts that have been put across in the video are wonderful on paper. But, is it really viable in real life? The workplace environment in most organizations is stressed and most people are dissatisfied about their jobs. So how are people going to gather up the energy and positiveness to ‘lead’? And let us assume that people do muster up the required enthusiasm, how long will it last when their efforts go unrecognized? And, will their initiative be treated with respect or be taken as insubordination?
That being said, if people really do begin to ‘choose to lead’ and the workplace environment reciprocates, then wonders will happen!
