77% of organizations are currently experiencing a leadership gap.
Fewer than 20% of organizations have a bench of capable leaders to fill critical roles.
Only 33% of employees report feeling engaged.
Women represent 58.4% of the US workforce as of September 2022 but only held 35% of senior leadership positions.
According to one study, companies with women executives are 30% more likely to outperform other companies.
One research study found the two biggest challenges keeping women from leadership positions are that women are held to higher standards (43%) and many businesses aren’t “ready” to hire women for top executive positions (43%).
For as long as I can remember, I’ve imagined a world where people would be free to be who they authentically are, as a path for greater personal joy and success in and out of work. When we thrive in one, it’s more likely we thrive in the other. As a lifelong learner driven to make a meaningful contribution to the world, I’ve sought to engage my business skills and passion for people to help contribute toward creating this vision.
Through years of research, training, and experience, I’ve seen how authenticity has come to the surface as a core element necessary for individual and collective success. But just because I knew this to be true wouldn’t make it enough for the world to change. Now, research is catching up and proving the connection between authenticity to improved mental health, innovation, leadership, worker performance, and company retention.
Authenticity is more than a buzzword.
It is now a data-backed path to greater joy, improved mental health, reduced burnout, retention, and career success.
Authenticity is much more than a buzzword and goes far deeper than simply “sharing personal information around the water cooler.” Embracing a culture of authenticity is shown to improve retention and productivity while minimizing burnout among workers.
And lately, you don’t have to look far to see “authentic leadership” sweeping the headlines of major media outlets:
Recently from Forbes: “Why Authenticity is the Most Important Asset a Company can Possess“
A study published by the National Library of Medicine shows linkages between authenticity at work and how it increases intrinsic motivation and workability and improved well-being.
