Is my CIO moving fast enough to lead our AI transformation? What are my rivals doing with gen AI? But those questions are misdirected. They focus on the intelligence of gen AI and its trajectory—how good gen AI is and how fast it’s improving—rather than on its implications for business strategy.

When Authentic Leadership Backfires - HBR
When Authentic Leadership Backfires - HBR
While authenticity is linked to higher self-esteem and well-being, it does not necessarily translate into perceptions of leadership competence or effectiveness. In fact, research shows that impression management--adjusting your behavior to meet situational demands and gratify others--can make you seem more authentic and trustworthy, whereas strict adherence to your "authentic self" can actually be perceived as inauthentic. This article outlines nine key tradeoffs leaders can make to ensure they are balancing their own sense of authenticity with how they come across in their organizations and on their teams.
