Authenticity—what it is, what it isn't, and how it fundamentally shapes our interactions and growth as individuals in society.

It's a delicate balance between being true to oneself and the impact this self-expression has on others. What can help are insights from thinkers like Albert Camus and existentialists, links to psychological frameworks by Abraham Maslow, and references modern theories of motivation and leadership to illustrate how our pursuit of genuine authenticity intersects with our responsibilities towards others.

This episode promises to challenge your perceptions, offering fresh perspectives on how to lead a fulfilling and balanced life by harmonizing personal authenticity with self-transcendence.

Memorable Moments

00:00 Maslow's hierarchy, self-actualization, self-transcendence, and motivation.

03:14 Motivation comes from autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

06:35 Start with the end in mind for success.

12:00 Instant results desired but most achievements need time.

15:17 Workweek and vacation time are arbitrary.

17:58 Constantly reevaluate and be authentic for others.

Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.

These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab. He wanted to offer those who share his beliefs the space and safety to explore transformative ideas, experiment with new behaviors, and evolve into the leaders they were meant to be and that the world needs.

This is a framework he has used again and again with his Vistage peer advisory groups and companies like Turn-Key Tunneling, Convergint, Haughn & Associates, I Am Boundless, Ketchum & Walton, LSP Technologies, and Ahlum & Arbor.

Perry lives and works on the shores of Buckeye Lake in Ohio, in the mountains of northwest Georgia, and on the beach in Anna Maria, Florida with his amazingly creative wife Lisa. They have 2 rescue dogs and are intermittently visited by their 3 wonderful children throughout the year. Perry & Lisa are living life in crescendo and focused on exploring, experimenting, and evolving their vision of a life they have no desire to retire from.
