Authentic Leadership As noted in the article “Discovering Your Authentic Leadership” by George, Sims, McLean, and Mayer (2007), “authentic leaders demonstrate a passion for their purpose, practice their values consistently, and lead with their hearts as well as their heads. They establish long-term, meaningful relationships and have the self-discipline to get results. They know who they are” (p. 130). For this assignment, write a brief biography that highlights your experiences in leading others.  Include a reflection on how your life story helps you lead effectively. How have these experiences shaped your passion for leadership and your leadership values? George, B., Sims, P., McLean, A., & Mayer, D. (2007). Discovering your authentic leadership.
