Destiny, brought the book True North: Discover Your Authentic Leadership into my life and I want to bring it into the lives of others. More specifically those who believe they were not born with the characteristics or traits to become a leader or those who have not found their passion or purpose in life; their “True North”. The book, written by Bill George and co-author Peter Sims, collects a series of interviews with 125 managers, from Howard Schultz of Starbuck to Dan Vasella of Novartis. Interviewees guide readers through their journey to becoming the leaders they are today; discussing their failures, successes, obstacles, personal tragedies and triumphs. The stories of each manager demonstrate the True North thesis that no one is born a leader and there is no path to becoming one. The book is divided into three sections: 1) Leadership is a journey 2) Discover your authentic leadership 3) Empowering people to lead. Before providing an overview of each section, it is important to define an authentic leader. Becoming an authentic leader means bringing “people together around a shared purpose and empowering them to step up and lead authentically in order to create values ​​for all stakeholders.” (xxxi). Bill George identified the following five dimensions that every authentic leader should understand:1. Pursue a purpose with passion2. Practicing solid values3. Lead with your heart4. Establish lasting relationships5.
