Avoid The Wizard of Oz Syndrome
May we avoid being the guy behind the smoke and curtain with the loud voice if that is not who we are.
Many of us have tried, are trying, or will try to put out a certain image of ourselves because (1) we are not comfortable in our own skin, (2) we think people want someone different, (3) or we aspire to be more.
The “Great and Mighty Oz” was being someone he was not. Did you see the disappoint on the face of every character in the movie? They were led to believe he was this person only to discover he was not being authentic.
May we not disappoint those we lead by being someone we are not. Plus, it takes a lot of work and attention to detail to construct a false character when it would just be easier to be authentic. This shift in your leadership may very well be the maneuver that changes everything.
Go for it!
