I think that regardless of tendencies, some of the most inspiring and successful people (on any path in life) have been those who are authentic and comfortable with themselves. That said, the world seems to have a real deficit of sincere and authentic leaders.

There is an element of 'Become great, and then just do what comes naturally' here, though. Its both insightful and somewhat problematic, in the sense that inauthenticity is a red-flag, but authentic != good, so the converse is not true (not-inauthentic is not 'good', per-se). TLDR: you need authentic (+) goodness, together.

  In my opinion, comrade, there are some "great" leaders who neither good nor authentic.

    Extra-ordinary (in the literal sense), perhaps is a better use of words.
