340 - From Archetypes to Authenticity in Leadership with Sarah Budd
Are we all just cosplaying as leaders? Donning a mask or a costume that helps us better play the role we think we should be playing?
Helping leaders to show up with truth in a world that never stays still, is leadership psychologist and executive coach Sarah Budd. This week, she invites us to reflect upon who we are as leaders, as we examine the tensions between our authentic selves and the façades we use to cloak our wounds, to belong, and to feel safe.
From illusions of control, to leadership imitation, and why Beyoncé is an iconic example of cosplay, this is a fascinating conversation for every leader in search of deeper self-alignment.
Find out about:
- The cosplaying, archetypal leader vs the new, adaptable leader
- Why inauthentic leadership can be damaging to both the self and the team
- How to lead authentically in a world that’s complex and constantly changing
- The role of AI and professionalism in both facilitation and leadership
