What Does “Just Be Yourself” Really Look Like at Work? | Christine vs. Work 17 Nov 2020 --- 𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝘼𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮! ✨ https://www.youtube.com/c/HBRAscend ✨ Everyone says to “be authentic” or “just be yourself” at work. But what does that really mean, and why does it matter? Innovation Editor Christine Liu explores this often blurry concept of being yourself while also “being professional.” How do those two things intersect? Are there new rules to learn? Have workplace expectations changed over time? And from the employer’s point of view, what’s to be gained from building a culture where employees can be authentic? We spoke to Madison Butler, a human resources and recruitment practitioner, about the challenges and benefits of bringing your most authentic self to the workplace.
