Why Bringing Your Authentic Self To Work Is Bad Advice

This is the Squiggly Careers podcast. And one quick thing, this is our 500th episode today. Thank you. Effective authenticity is where you project a version of yourself that resonates with others whilst maintaining a semblance of genuineness. Trust is more important than authenticity.

Whether they're being their authentic self as as a person flying the plane, you know, they're bringing themselves to work, that is less important than trust. Do you trust them to fly the plane? Are you part of an emotionally intelligent team? Interesting thinking about the we rather just the I. Am I emotionally intelligent?

Are we emotionally intelligent? You need to understand, like, how does this team work? It's almost kind of keep questioning yourself, what ideas do the team need from me at the moment? Because the last thing they need is more ideas.
