This is one of those interesting topics that really does not have a right answer but everyone has their own version of the authenticity of a person and it's shaped mostly by your exposure and interaction with that person. The person you mention above was probably seen as authentic to his superiors (whom he was trying to impress) and not authentic to his collegues who got them there (after he dismissed all of you). thanks for your feedback Marly.

One person I worked with was true to himself regardless of what position he had or how much notoriety he experienced. But I have worked with someone else who completely changed as the work of the project led him to be more noted in the field. It was interesting to see him eventually start putting down the project and the people involved in the project as meaningless. Now, after reading your post I realize he was probably trying to feed his ego's need to think that it was his own effort that got him to where he was, not the project itself. Interesting post.
