Authentic Leadership Training

Authenticity in the Workplace

Authenticity is a key building block for creating an inclusive workplace – one where everyone feels that they can bring their whole self to work and, in particular, what makes them different and unique. Leaders who are authentic in how they behave are more likely to create inclusive, empowered and innovative teams.

Authentic Leadership Programming for Your Leaders

At bci, we are fierce advocates for authentic leadership as a way to unlock your own and others’ potential. Our tailored leadership programming draws on the expertise in Ritu’s bestselling book The Authenticity Principle, which is a guide for living and working more authentically.

The Three Selves
Framework

Did You Know?

Authenticity is contagious.

When you lead with an authentic spirit, your team members will be more likely to say that they enjoy working with you, that they trust you, that they feel more engaged and satisfied and that they have greater feelings of workplace well-being and meaning.

And of course, all of this will cause your team members to be more productive, feel more included and, most importantly, stay at your organization. In a nutshell, to be inclusive, you want to lead with authenticity.
