Abstract

Authentic leadership has become a buzzword among leadership scholars, as organizations and followers seek new ways to identify what is missing in many leaders today. One’s history can be an indicator of one’s destiny. Many leaders, however, do not take the time to gather, sort, and connect the pieces of their life to understand the unique direction life is taking them. As a result, life is lived more by default rather than by design. Authentic leaders, however, understand that their life story is like a puzzle that guides their current action toward an evolving, significant, and purpose-filled end. This describes the process of gathering, sorting, and connecting the pieces of life so that leaders can live intentionally and authentically as true leaders in service to others.
