How leaders punctuate time, for themselves and for those they lead, influences their potential for progress. Society tells us to situate our accomplishments in weeks, months, quarters, and years. Year-end reviews, quarterly reports, and weekly metrics all speak to the power of set periods to define what it means to be productive.

Bonus answer:
I think where "be authentic" falls down is when people use it as a wedge to bring something about their personal life into a business setting because to do otherwise is "inauthentic".
WRT equating authenticity with permission to be toxic - its beyond the pale to use any excuse as a cover for injuring other people or damaging the company's mission. Anyone that's "authentically" abusive needs to be seperated from the organization.
Beyond that I think where people crave authenticity is for leadership to be honest about what they believe and conduct themselves accordingly. In such an environment people will have a predictable, stable, and safe environment to work in.
