“Be yourself.” “Bring your whole self to work.” It sounds empowering - but what if it’s actually bad advice?


That’s exactly what our host David Green explores in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, with returning guest Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic - Professor of Business Psychology at UCL and Columbia, and author of Don’t Be Yourself: Why Authenticity is Overrated (and What to Do Instead).


Together, they challenge popular leadership tropes and explore why being real doesn’t always lead to being effective - especially in today’s fast-changing, AI-driven world. So, join them as they explore:

  • Why authenticity is misunderstood, and when it becomes a liability
  • The leadership traits that actually build trust and influence
  • How AI is transforming the employee experience
  • The risks of eliminating early-career jobs in pursuit of productivity
  • What inclusion really requires beyond buzzwords and optics
  • The three ingredients every AI strategy needs to succeed

This episode is sponsored by Valence.


Imagine if every employee had a world-class coach in their pocket. That’s exactly what Valence has created with Nadia - the AI-powered coach helping Fortune 500 companies scale development, boost performance, and support leaders at every level. Learn more at valence.co/insight222
