Abstract
Throughout our profession we stand aside and we reflect on our lives and our careers. Often, we mold ourselves to fit the setting we seek to work in and while this can be positive and productive for self-growth and professional learning, there are certain aspects of ourselves we should not have to and should not be willing to adapt and change simply to fit into the setting we seek to work in, as we covet authenticity. There are many tenets of leadership growth and development this chapter will present, central to being authentic leaders. There is a plethora of literature relating to the concept, theory, and practice of authenticity in leadership spanning the last century; but this chapter will focus, primarily, on authenticity in educational leadership. This chapter will review the concept of leadership authenticity for school leaders with a focus on leaders' culture, community, and internal core values as a core ingredient to their professional leadership style, philosophy, and management style.
