Being Authentic – True to yourself
Most important for us to understand, is that there is an intrinsic nature and behaviour which
we are born with. Can I that change that? Or let’s re-phrase Should I change in order to fit
into the community? – the answer is ‘NO’.
“If I am not a people’s person I will not be comfortable in crowds”.
“If my idea of fun is reading a book, then you will not find me at the pub”
“If I am an outdoor person then you will not find me at home or in a workplace which is a
desk job.”
Attention recruiters! Is aptitude test, one of the parameters for recruitment? As the old
adage says “you can’t make a fish climb a tree”. Applicable even for the recruitment drive
for Leadership roles and top management roles.
I will leave that for you to think and comment.
Coming back to the topic of authenticity, in training during soft skills we stress upon the fact
