Authenticity … The One Thing That Transforms Everything

Imagine a world where you wake up, ready to lead with genuine confidence. You rarely feel insecure. You never pretend, perform or act like you have it all together. You are simply secure in who you are, and strong enough to influence others.

This isn’t crazy. This is Authentic Leadership.

Dan Owolabi has practiced and taught Authentic Leadership for over a decade. Here he shares the timeless principles of Authenticity through inspiring storytelling, sound research and practical examples.

The most effective leaders have nothing to hide, nothing to prove and nothing to lose. They know how to battle insecurity and lead with influence by growing through four stages:

  1. Understand Yourself
  2. Lead Yourself
  3. Understand Others
  4. Lead Others

It’s not an accident that Authentic Leaders are magnetic, confident, and resilient leaders. And you can become one too!

DAN OWOLABI is co-founder of Owolabi Leadership, and Executive Director of Branches Worldwide. A sought-after and captivating keynote speaker, Dan has spent more than a decade helping leaders develop genuine, effective influence. A retired pastor, he works with a wide variety of leaders outside the church and around the world, helping them clarify their identity and leverage their influence as a service to others. Dan holds a BA from Malone University, and an MA from Ashland University. He lives in Ohio with his wife Erica and their two daughters.

Review

CEOs

I've enjoyed listening to Dan speak about leadership principles for many years. Authentic Leadership takes his message to another level. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to build up people and develop better teams, while staying true to themselves.

Brian Miller, President & CEO, ProVia

Dan Owolabi, like most of us, was sure that fitting in mattered. But as a minority in a tradition-steeped community it didn't come easy. The answer-Dan became real. His insights in this book are the same-and they're a real inspiration.

Mark Coblentz, Owner, Walnut Creek Foods

Authentic Leadership is for everyone, from CEOs to people on the front lines, who are on a "journey back to the best version of themselves." At the core of sustained organizational long-term success today is Authentic Leadership. We need this type of leadership across our organizations. Dan provides a road map for all of us on this journey. He has a wonderful ability to weave story and practical principles into a very helpful narrative on this powerful concept. I highly recommend this book to people across organizational life.

Jim Smucker, PhD., President of Keim

Leadership Authorities

Authentic Leadership is the gold standard for leaders of all ages who want to lead with influence. Dan Owolabi captures the practice of servant leadership with convincing examples and memorable stories. Anyone who takes leadership seriously will significantly benefit from Dan's practical wisdom on authenticity in leadership.

Steve McClatchy, Author of The New York Times best-selling book, Decide

We need authentic leaders at all levels. In a world where trust, service, and positive relationships are defining characteristics of effective leaders, Authentic Leadership is an indispensable book. It's the first stop for anyone who wants to make a lasting difference in the world.

Jon Gordon, Author of The New York Times best-selling book, The Energy Bus

Spiritual Authorities

Dan Owolabi persuasively writes from a place of expertise and experience on what it truly means to become an Authentic Leader. He not only challenges us to be Authentic Leaders but gives us principles we can use to develop this important element of effective leadership.

Dwight Mason, Lead Pastor, NewPointe Community Church

Much like he speaks, Dan shares a great mix of storytelling, vulnerability and practical wisdom. As a personal friend, I can attest to Dan's introspective look at life and of the pertinent lessons it teaches. He is a solid teacher but even a better student as these pages attest to. The Authentic Leader is a must have resource both for personal growth and to study together with others.

Bruce Hamsher, Founder of Toward the Goal Ministries

We need authentic leaders now more than ever. In Authentic Leadership, Dan Owolabi casts a compelling vision for leaders who have nothing to hide, prove, or lose. Every leader should strive to be an authentic leader and this book provides a clear path to becoming one. You will benefit greatly from Dan's story and practice of authentic leadership. Thank you, Dan!

Nick Cleveland, Lead Pastor, Grace Church (Wooster, Ohio)

Dan Owolabi is a dynamic communicator, compelling writer and authentic leader. This book will inspire you with principles and best practices to grow as an authentic leader. This is how we change our world for good and for God.

Larry Kaufman, Lead Pastor, Grace Church (Berlin, Ohio)
