Can you contrive to be authentic? This is tricky, tricky territory, you guys! Check out this episode of our tellthetruths video series for a juicy example. I talk about the public persona of T-Mobile CEO, John Legere.
Authentically Contrived
This guy is sooooo over the top! Wait ’till you hear his Twitter bio. (Hint: he IS Batman!) Legere has constructed a charismatic, larger-than-life character that is clearly very strategic and yet has an incredible warmth and authenticity to it. Is this manipulative? Insincere? I love a meaty contradiction!
