Authenticity is pivotal in wielding power effectively from "summary" of Segredos do Poder by José Paulo Pereira Silva

One of the key aspects that cannot be neglected when it comes to effectively wielding power is authenticity. Being authentic means being true to oneself, being genuine in one's actions and beliefs. It means not pretending to be someone you are not, not putting on a façade to please others or to fit in. Authenticity is about being honest and transparent, about showing your true self to the world without fear or reservation. When you are authentic, people are more likely to trust you and to follow your lead. They can sense when someone is being genuine, when someone is speaking from the heart and acting with integrity. Authenticity creates a connection with others, a bond of trust and respect that is essential when it comes to exerting influence and power. People are more likely to listen to you, to take you seriously, and to be inspired by you when they know that you are being true to yourself. Moreover, authenticity breeds confidence. When you are authentic, you are comfortable in your own skin, you know who you are and what you stand for. This self-assurance is a powerful tool when it comes to wielding power, as it allows you to project strength and conviction in everything you do. People are drawn to those who exude confidence, who are sure of themselves and their abilities. Authenticity gives you the courage to take risks, to speak your mind, and to stand up for what you believe in. In contrast, trying to be someone you are not, pretending to have qualities or beliefs that are not genuine, only undermines your power and influence. People can see through deception and insincerity, and they will not hesitate to question your motives and intentions. Inauthenticity erodes trust and credibility, making it difficult to garner support and loyalty from others. It is only by being authentic, by being true to yourself and others, that you can truly wield power effectively.
