4 ways to channel authenticity into organizational growth

At its core, authenticity is the promise of being true to oneself, communicating openly and stripping down layers to build strong, trusting foundations with those around you. It means accountability, allowing space for vulnerability, and encouraging open and honest conversations that permit feedback and progress. When channeled appropriately, authenticity can have immense impact on company operations, team morale, productivity, customer satisfaction, sales, company growth and more. It also fosters psychological safety, empowering people to operate at their optimum levels with enjoyment and increased productivity.
