Power Play: Sincerity gives wings to power

It sounds simple (and obvious) but sincerity can sometimes be in short supply in boardrooms across Australia.

From asking someone how they are – and listening to the response – to listening to criticism with an open mind, Power Players try to remember that sincerity can go a long way in a bitter and cynical world.

Many of us see life (and work), as a race against the clock and it’s easy to forget to be a human being.

Power Players try to keep a measure of sincerity in their daily working life. At its core, to be sincere means to be genuine. And Power Players try not to lose this sense of being authentic.

When you notice yourself sliding into the zone of cynicism and harshness, see if you can locate your sincerity. It can make you far more powerful than you could possible imagine.
