HOW SELF-COMPASSION CAN ENHANCE AUTHENTIC LEADE...

In the face of today's business challenges  the demand for a more genuine leadership style is
arising. Authentic Leadership as a way to authentically relate to oneself and others is meant
to create meaning  trust and confidence amongst followers. At the same time  the Buddhist
concept of Self-Compassion is becoming popular in the Western academic world. This study offers
first insights into the relationship between Authentic Leadership and Self-Compassion.
Theoretical similarities and connections between the two constructs are being presented. An
online study (N=50) got conducted  asking young professionals from the international student
organization 'AIESEC' about Authentic Leadership attributes and self-compassionate behaviours.
Data analysis showed a weak positive correlation between Authentic Leadership and
Self-Compassion. Methodical limitations of the study are being demonstrated. Implications for
Authentic Leadership research and practice are being discussed  concluding that Self-Compassion
could enhance the theoretical operationalization of authenticity as well as the intense process
of Authentic Leadership Development. This study was shortlisted for the Association of Business
Psychologist's Workforce Experience Award in 2014.
