Avolio et al. (2004) presents a nice description of Authentic leaders: "We conceive of authentic leaders as persons who have achieved high levels of authenticity in that they know who they are, what they believe and value, and they act upon those values and beliefs while transparently interacting with others" (p. 802).

Consider the following questions for our discussion this week:

1) How would you say Authentic  leadership relates to Transformational leadership?

2) How do people (leaders) develop their "values" over the course of their lives so that they can act upon them while interacting with others?

3) Conduct a short internet research on "Servant" leadership and then compare your findings to our discussion on "Authentic" leadership. 

4) Be sure to add any personal examples where applicable.
