Synopsis

An award-winning CEO and communications expert shows how authentic leadership eliminates the need for the shortcuts that sabotage success. "Fake it till you make it" just doesn't work-at least not long enough to build a sustainable business.

Self-doubt and the intense pressure of facing the unknown are real problems for entrepreneurs and leaders. But there's a difference between feigning confidence and running a con game; Elizabeth Holmes and Billy McFarland thrived on faking it for a short while, but their businesses were all aspiration, no foundation, and so collapsed disastrously. This book revisits the core of leadership, defines authentic, reality-based business integrity, and shows readers how to attain and maintain it.

Through the double lens of running her own PR firm in Silicon Valley and advising hundreds of other executives, award-winning CEO Sabrina Horn shows leaders how to attend to the fundamentals and gain the clarity of thought necessary to make sound business decisions. She delivers real, workable strategies and best practices with firsthand accounts of painful lessons. Horn's fake-free advice will empower leaders to disarm fear and organize risk, manage setbacks, plan for the unexpected, and create a company culture designed for long-term, sustainable growth.

In the history of industry it shouldn’t be forgotten that the 90s and 00s were frontier times. New rules applied and it was up to the era's new entrepreneurs to write them. Sabrina was there. I watched her, competed against her, and learned she’s no fake. Neither is her book. It's a foundation for t......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on July 13, 2021

When is the last time you heard “fake it until you make it”? I was guilty of telling that to a friend a few weeks ago. Such advice is often given to people entering the job market or professionals switching jobs. Does it work? Nope, and it is time to lead with authenticity first and live by doing th......more
