Why is it important?
Authentic Leadership does not pay close attention to diversity and difference, it assumes that any one who wants to is able to "be thyself and to thine own self be true" without recognizing how people of color are judged differently - for example, behaving authentically can translate into being branded the angry black woman even when the context calls for righteous anger.
