For me authentic means genuine. A human being who is in tune with his/her fellow human,and treats them with respect. You could say authenticity is revealed in moments, when the person being led, realises he/she is being led and not free. That moment could be called awakening to one's own inner leadership.

That's absolutely why people are unhappy. They are being forced to behave in a certain way, and being poisoned through food, water, air and mind. How can you say anything like that? Who are you or anybody to decide which illusion people are to be fed? “And this in the context that we are addressing an audience, whether they are customers, stakeholders or citizens, that has largely lost the ability to discern what is authentic anyway”
