Synthetic Leadership and the Art of Taste
The best leaders I know aren’t authentic.
They’re synthetic.
Not fake—intentional.
They borrow tools from mentors.
Adopt language that works.
Try on new habits until they fit.
That’s not weakness. That’s taste.
Taste is knowing what to keep.
What to leave behind.
What to blend.
And when to stop—arguably the hardest of actions for successful folks.
Try this:
Think of one leader you admire.
What’s one behavior of theirs you could try this week?
Being a synthetic leader means you don’t wait to “find your voice.”
You build it—deliberately, piece by piece.
And Sunday?
That’s the day to zoom out.
To edit.
To refine.
To choose carefully what stays in your mix.
Synthetic leadership isn’t about being more or less.
It’s about being composed.
Built with discernment.
It’s a great day to be coachable 👏🏻👏🏻
