“The secret to success is sincerity. If you can fake that you’ve got it made.”

So joked the novelist, Hippolyte Jean Giraudoux. Of course, faked sincerity is not sincerity at all, but the silly gibe has a kernel of truth—sincerity is crucial. Especially if you’re a leader. People will forgive incompetence and mistakes, but if they sense you’re inauthentic, they lose trust in you. And without trust, it’s almost impossible to lead well.

Being an Authentic Leader is our resource designed to help you be authentic with the people you lead. How much to divulge to others is always a balancing act, but this 18-page resource will help you share your heart as a Christian while maintaining your authority as a leader.
