    Great book for Leadership Course
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2023*

I recently purchased this book for one of my leadership courses. This book surpassed my expectations, providing not only comprehensive insights into leadership principles but also practical strategies for implementation.The author's approach is not only informative but also highly engaging, making complex authentic leadership concepts applicable. The content was well-structured, allowing for a seamless integration of the book into the course curriculum. Each chapter was a goldmine of relevant information.

    Authenticity
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2016*

In this book, management psychologist Karissa Thacker offers a comprehensive discussion of authenticity in leadership, drawing on examples from her own practice. She approaches this topic from many angles, defining authenticity simply at first, and continuously adding to the definition throughout the book.I have read a number of books on leadership, and what distinguishes this book from others is the author's perspective as a psychologist. I really appreciate her take on many of the challenges that arise when working under pressure with other human beings. Some of the more memorable discussions had to do with changes in the way business operates during the last 15 years; opening one's mind to multiple alternatives; dealing with bosses; evaluating the behavior of bosses (!); being cautious with charismatic leaders; (I loved "Greater Good vs. Greater Me;") learning from all mistakes, and so, so much more. Thacker covers a lot of ground here, backing up her ideas with many references that look fascinating.My one reservation about the book is that the writing gets quite wordy at times; still, this is a fairly easy and accessible read.Here are a couple of passages I enjoyed:p. 4r  "Authentic leaders are self-inventors. Leaders, whatever their field, are made up as much of their experiences as their skills, like everyone else. Unlike everyone else, they use their experience rather than being used by it. What distinguishes the leader from everyone else is that he or she  takes all of that and creates a new, unique self."p. 171 "Your power and presence as an authentic leader come from what you are, paradoxically including strengths and weaknesses and similarities and differences from other people. Your uniqueness is om the mix of towering strengths and outrageous flows and the ways you are like others and the ways you are different from your reference groups. Learning to deploy that unique blend that is you, to make extraordinary things happen in business and in life, is the central challenge of authentic leadership."

    A Book for All Leaders
  

*by P***M on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2016*

I just finished reading The Art of the Authenticity and I thought it was outstanding for a number of reasons: (1) it's accessible -- Dr. Thacker is clearly an intelligent and educated woman of science, but this book isn't filled with jargon and psychobabble.  It's written in a straight forward, easy-to-read manner, without being overly simplistic; (2) it's useful for everyone -- You don't have to be a CEO or business person to appreciate and value the ideas about leadership presented in this book and want to implement them in your own life; (3) it's practical -- There are concrete examples of the concepts Dr. Thacker discusses in the book and exercises to help you practice what she is trying to teach; and, (4) it stays with you -- The book provides insights into leadership and authenticity that made me think about my own ideas and interactions long after I put it down.
