Authentic Leadership – Beyond Titles and Positions

"The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them." — Proverbs 11:3

Authenticity isn’t about perfection—it’s about alignment. Do your actions match your words? Does your public persona match your private character?
