ABOUT THIS EPISODE
You've probably been in a meeting where a senior leader talks about being authentic, bringing your whole self to work, being vulnerable, and something doesn't quite fit. The words are right. The practice doesn't follow.
There's a growing critique that says authentic leadership doesn't work. In this episode, Amanda takes it seriously, then argues it has the diagnosis half wrong. The leaders who fail aren't too authentic. What they're doing isn't authentic at all. It's impression management wearing the language of authenticity.
This episode walks through four patterns of weaponised authenticity, what real authenticity actually requires, and two leaders quietly doing the real work, with the steadier teams and better decisions that followed.
The line of the episode: "Authenticity that costs nothing isn't authenticity. It's just comfort."
Reflection question:
Where in your leadership are you using the language of authenticity to do the work of impression management?

Most senior leaders are performing some version of themselves at work. Not all the time. Not in every conversation. But often enough that it has become the way they move through their days. A leadership voice. A leadership face. A leadership way of holding themselves in a room. Most of the time, th…

There's something most of us learn early. The way to handle anything is to work harder at it. It built our careers, earned us the seats we now hold, and at a certain point, it stops working. We hit something that doesn't yield. We push harder. Nothing changes. So we add more. More preparation, more…

Most senior leaders have had a moment like this.
