I agree in the importance of sincerity but also must point out that people are often good at faking sincerity. Your tips are helpful but can also be the direction for faking it. The real test, I believe, is to ask questions that reinforce the sincerity. Questions are the best way to determine the sincerity and TRUTH of anything.
Until any recommend behavior becomes associated with a lack of sincerity itself, or lowers your credibility, then practicing sincerity behaviors before you have the “sincerity mindset” shouldn’t stop you.
At the end of the day… sincerity is what you do... is it not? How else would anyone truly know a leader’s mindset?
Further, what about non neurotypical people? Many people you interact with never feel sincere to what you believe is an acceptable level. Provided they don’t use behaviors as simple a hack or a technique, how would you otherwise advise that they (for instance) apologize properly? Wait until they cross an internal threshold of sincerity?
Live this discussion, btw. Thanks for bringing it up!
I've never through about it this way, but yes. I think there's definitely something I can reflect on in that your words and body align very closely, in a way that doesn't just happen in other communication. it's like suddenly lots of different elements parts coming together to allow that key to fit the lock - that sort of alignment. Only when that level of body/brain/communication alignment happens is sincerity conveyed

Leaders who talk about how much they care about their team but never demonstrate it. Do they really care?
I like the statement you made about sincerity in your comment … caring is also about what you do.
