Indirect procurement is a function with high requirements for stakeholder management. Cultivating excellent stakeholder management skills means developing self-mastery – a key part of authentic leadership.
In the workplace, 'Just being yourself' doesn't mean letting it all hang out, unfiltered. It requires a self-mastery founded in self-awareness. It means building on this to calibrate ones own reaction to and interaction with colleagues. I've had experiences from good and bad bosses along the way and I've made mistakes that have helped me learn to be a more authentic leader.
