Leading with Vulnerability
Unlock Your Greatest Superpower to Transform Yourself, Your Team, and Your Organization
Wiley, 2023
Aperçu
When leaders exhibit vulnerability, they share their humanity.
Recommendation
Many executives believe that showing emotion undermines their public persona as an authority figure. Refreshingly, futurist and business author Jacob Morgan says this idea is a fallacy. Instead, he writes, leaders who admit they are vulnerable share their humanity. If you make that choice, he reassures you, people will admire your openness and brave spirit. Morgan explains how to demonstrate your vulnerability at work and incorporate your emotions into your leadership style. But, he cautions, being vulnerable doesn’t mean divulging all. In other words, proceed, but with good sense.
