ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What does it really mean to lead with authenticity—and how do you know when it's courageous vs. careless?
In this episode of The Enlightened Executive, host Susan Drumm sits down with Cindy Adams, executive coach and co-founder of The Enneagram in Business Network, to explore one of the most misunderstood leadership traits: authenticity.

- The difference between emotional expression and emotional intelligence
- How to evolve your communication style as your leadership matures
