Eric Siu argues that authenticity is overrated in professional settings. Instead of being your true self at work, show up consistently as your best version. Save authenticity for personal relationships where it actually matters.

Why is being authentic nonsense? So let's say something important came up in your life. You needed a lawyer or a surgeon or even an Uber driver, or you're going to a concert for someone you've saved up money for the tickets. Do you want that person to be authentic? If they're having a really bad day, do you want them to be cranky? If they're tired, do you want them to drive erratically? No, you want them to be consistent. Professionals are consistent. They show up as the best version of themselves. Authenticity is for your friends. Consistency is for professionals.
