Integrity
I just read a terrific article on FT.com called Be yourself: but know who you are meant to be.
We all know people who are one thing at work and completely different on the outside — they are one thing but put on a show for others. I’m not just talking about party animal vs. serious employee. I know people who act, talk, laugh (etc.) differently — depending on the situation.
That seems exhausting to me. Don’t be someone you think other people want you to be. While ‘authentic’ is a trendy way of saying it, it makes perfect sense to always be that plus:
- Real
- Genuine
- True to yourself
What do you think about putting on a show — for your boss, your spouse or your friends?
