You Lead Better When You Acknowledge Your Failures | MWM
Embrace Authenticity = Embrace honesty when you make mistakes. People respect leaders who openly admit when they are wrong and work to make things right. When you are willing to be vulnerable—accepting and learning from your mistakes and failures—you and your team can move forward. Authenticity doesn’t guarantee success, but inauthenticity guarantees failure. 


Authenticity Earns Credibility
Be Authentic And Real = We all want to have honest relationships and be around people who are honest. Honest people are truthful, what they say is reflected in what they do. They have a sense of character and authenticity. Everyone has good days and bad days, and when we admit that and walk through life in the middle of the road, we develop credibility and live honestly.
