Authentic leadership is characterized by being genuine, trustworthy, reliable, proactive, consistent, transparent, and equitable. An authentic leader acts as a role model and collaborator who operates with ambition. The language of authentic leadership emphasizes being a coach and mentor who works with others using "we" rather than "me", actively challenges and supports, learns from outcomes without blame, asks and listens rather than instructs, shares and gives rather than takes, and recognizes contributions selflessly.
