Get Real & Get Ahead: The Importance of Professional Authenticity & Why It Matters

#25: Authenticity is about how you conduct yourself, how you treat others, and the way you work and fit in to your corporate culture. It's not about being nicey-nice or insincere; it's about being real. If you're like most people, you may have a number of different identities at work and in your personal life. For instance, you're a leader to your team, a co-worker or friend to your colleagues, a team member to your boss, and an expert to your clients.
