Show Notes

Is "being your authentic self" in the workplace always the best strategy? According to a recent Fast Company article, 6 in 10 employers have fired Gen Z employees for "unprofessional behavior" tied to authenticity. In this episode of The Good Leader Podcast, Ang and Jerrod unpack what "authenticity" really means at work and explore why it's causing generational clashes. They dive into leadership biases, shifting definitions of success, and the tension between personal identity and professional expectations.

If you’ve ever struggled with balancing who you are with what your workplace demands, this episode will help you navigate clarity, boundaries, and what it means to grow as a leader.
