In this episode we discuss the subject of 'Authentic Leadership'. Authentic leadership is an approach to leadership that emphasizes building legitimacy through honest relationships with followers. In the network marketing profession many leaders are never able to develop the type of following they want and truly inspire people because they don't understand this concept. Truly great leaders are vulnerable and transparent when it comes to their past failures and disappointments. When a leader is honest and transparent it facilitates trust with the people that are following them. People need to see that you're not perfect, that you're like them. There is a fine line that many people step over when being vulnerable and willing to share past hurts. Often times, people read that as being able to be negative or complain to the people that are following them. This is a HUGE mistake that people make. One of the biggest lessons I've learned in this profession is that you can NEVER be negative or complain to the people on your team. I introduce you to a concept that has been so impactful to me, "pass negatives up and positives down". My goal is that when you're finished listening to this training, you'll be in a better position to lead people and inspire them to take action. I want you to be the type of leader that can inspire and make a difference in the lives of others all over the world. That is one of the greatest gifts the network marketing profession gives us all.
