Authentic leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about having the tools in place for teams to have difficult conversations. That’s how Chris Gutierrez, General Manager at Volaris-owned company Centurisk sees it.

Different geographies, cultures, experiences, and genders don’t just diversify a leadership table; they also diversify the thinking that happens around it.
The payoff, as he sees it, is twofold: a wider range of ideas shaping where the organization goes next, and a deeper ability to connect with customers and partners on their own terms.
