 MOLLY'S NOTEBOOK
 

Authentic or "knockoff" leadership...

The word "authentic" is a powerful term indeed. It denotes real, genuine, original value. An authentic painting, first-edition book or designer bag has a value far greater than a knockoff or a cheap copy. Sometimes in life, if we can't afford the original, we seek out the knockoff. Some are imitations that have been authorized by the original creators, but many are bootleg or fraudulent. More
