Short YouTube monologue by Bill Gallagher arguing that leaders should "show up fully" and be authentic: authenticity builds trust, encourages people to stay, and fosters stronger relationships. The speaker contrasts contemporary expectations with older leadership norms (mentions attending Stern and previous generations).
Like, even if we don't know it in our head, why our gut, something's off. Right. And so if you want people to follow you, if you want people to trust you, if you want people to stay with you, the more authentic you can show up, the better. Now, that wasn't always the case. Right. Like when I went to school, when I went to Stern. Right. Everything that was not what leaders were taught. That's not how you were taught to show up. And certainly our parents generation, it was a totally different thing. But now it's like people resonate with people when they can really see you fully for who you are. Right. And then hopefully, vice versa. Hopefully, they can show up fully, and then you're building something.
