As an expert in authentic leadership behavior...

...and its influence on employee job performance, I want to educate leaders. My goal is to discuss the significance of ethics, morals, and transparency among leaders and how they set the tone for the organization, and the influence on employee performance.

 

My presentation examines the Authentic Leadership Theory. As a Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership combined with 8 years of experience as a director, supervisor, and manager, I have the knowledge to educate other leaders. Employees are suffering, and companies are losing talented employees or paying out settlements at the hands of negative behaviors of leaders. My research found that employees stated that job performance was positively influenced when leaders made ethical and moral decisions to benefit the organization, displayed relational transparency, offered consistent communication to staff, implemented appropriate policies and procedures in a timely fashion, and allowed employees to participate in the decision-making process.

 

Therefore, it is necessary to educate organizations on authentic leadership to begin to change the narrative to create positive workplace culture, better employee performance, and competent leadership.

Leaders Communication in the Workforce

This talk focuses on the importance of effective communication of leaders to employees and the influence on job performance. Often leaders do not effectively communicate to employees and this affects job performance.

 

Employees must be informed with information to adequately accomplish tasks, assignments and carry out the vision and mission of the organization. This talk discusses the importance of keeping employees informed and ways to disseminate information to employees.

Life after Journalism.

This talk will discuss ways to market yourself and find a job after leaving the news industry. I made the transition from television reporter/anchor to public relations and executive management. After 20 years as a broadcast reporter and anchor, I decided that it was time for a change. I left television news and began a new career in communications and public relations. I went on to obtain a master’s degree in Communications and a Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership. I can help journalists navigate the career change to market themselves for positions with the skillsets they have learned as journalists.

Reviews

Dr. Sherrie Johnson’s talk is a clear and direct reflection of her book and her research. I appreciate that she offered to speak to our group of learning and development professionals about her research in Authentic Leadership. There are many examples of senior leaders and managers making decisions that are perceived as unethical and/or immoral by their teams, and that this feedback should be taken into consideration when making business decisions. Dr. Johnson is very personable, is unafraid to speak about the issues, and takes the time to listen to the audience.
