Many leaders sound inauthentic, robotic or fake.

It’s true: As a leader, it’s hard to sound authentic – to be real, relatable, and trusted. Some messages may come across as too corporate, others as too casual.

The result is the same: there’s a gap between what you want to say and what your people hear.

To close that gap, I’m joined by David Shelley, CEO of Hachette Book Group, one of the biggest names in global publishing, with more than 220 million books sold annually.

He’s raw, real, and incredibly believable – and he shows us what authentic leadership communication sounds like at scale.
