What is authenticity? Authenticity refers to a sense of genuineness. Leaders today are urged to be authentic—genuine with their thoughts and acts, and uphold beliefs that promote the welfare of the organization ahead of their own interests. They lead with their heart and are always in pursuit of the organization’s vision and mission.
To know the positive implications of authentic leadership on an organization, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) has invited local and international thought leaders to discuss said topic in its 4th Quarter Civil Service Institute (CSI) Leadership Series 2018 on November 21, 2018 at the CSC Resource Center, Quezon City.
The CSI invites government leaders to this final offering of CSI Leadership Series for 2018 to discover how being genuine, fair-minded, and more importantly how knowing themselves would impact the fulfillment of their roles as stewards of their organization’s success. The event will also help leaders become servant heroes, leading with efficiency and effectiveness, and championing values-driven practices and decisions.
