Article Review
From the article discovering your authentic leadership, it is clear that leaders are made
not born as many leading scholars focus on the concept that leaders have many voices as
leadership traits and skills differ amongst individual as per their real-life experience (George,
Sims, McLean, & Mayer, 2007). I agree with this concept that authentic leadership learned from
life story, knowing authentic self, and by practicing principles and values. I learned some of
the traits of authentic leaders that are building support of people, mutual learning, empowering
others, and building relationships (George, Sims, McLean, & Mayer, 2007). In support of this, I
would like to highlight the example of Mulcahy in Xerox, as employees in the company were
empowered by Mulcahy and her leadership style helped to overcome the financial crisis. On the
other side, Americ, Craig, & Tourish, 2007, criticized the statement that for creating sustainable
results the only way is authentic leadership. In my opinion, this is right as there is another way
than authentic leadership also in this changing environment to sustain and lead such as
transformational leadership. I observed and analyzed from the article that the concept of
authentic leadership has been successful from past years and still companies are following the
concept of authentic leadership.
According to Ancona, Malone, Orlikowski, & Senge, 2007, In Praise of the incomplete
leader, the article focuses on the concept that there is no complete leader and no person or leader
who stays on the top. Further, some authors developed a framework of four capabilities that
were; sense-making, inventing, relating and visioning. This article stated that the complete leader
is a myth as there is not a single person that remains the same and can do all the work in the right
manner. I support this statement and observed this in my personal life that if a person tries to
figure out all the things they end up not meeting any requirement and might exhaust themselves.
