Leadership isn't just about guiding others; it's about inspiring them. But how do we truly inspire? It starts with vulnerability. Sharing our failures as openly as our successes creates a relatable narrative that encourages others to persevere and grow. In the heart of leadership, personal stories of resilience transform abstract concepts into tangible examples of courage and determination. This fosters an environment where trust is built, and true inspiration can flourish. Let's lead by example, showing that strength often comes from the most human moments of vulnerability. Together, we can redefine what it means to inspire.

Couldn't agree more! 🙌 Leadership is all about being real with your team. When leaders share their own ups and downs, it kinda breaks down that intimidating wall, making it easier for everyone else to speak up and share too. It's like saying, 'Hey, I've been there too; let's figure this out together.' It makes a huge difference in how teams bond and tackle challenges head-on. Plus, it’s refreshing to see leaders who are not afraid to be human first.

Love this take, Glenn! 🙌 Vulnerability is like that secret sauce in leadership nobody talks about enough. It's like when you share that epic fail from your first job and suddenly everyone's nodding and sharing theirs too. Boom! Instant connection, trust goes up, and people feel safe to take risks and innovate. It’s all about getting real and showing it’s okay to be a work in progress.

Love this take, Glenn! 🙌 It's like saying, 'Hey, I've been there too.' Sharing those oops moments makes everything more real. Reminds me of that time I totally botched a presentation but talked about it openly later. It turned into one of the best learning moments for my team. It’s all about getting real and letting others see they’re not alone in their struggles.

Beware, sometimes too much vulnerability can lead to emotion contagion.  Although I completely agree that a leader without vulnerability is a robot. I like what I learned from Tuff Leadership Training - Daniel Ofman's core quadrants. If vulnerability is a core quality - too much of it might get you into a pitfall. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Glenn, I couldn't agree more with your take on inspiring leadership through vulnerability. It's in those moments of openness about our struggles that we truly connect with our team and motivate them to embrace challenges head-on. Keep leading by example!

Love this, Glenn! Showing our vulnerabilities isn't easy, but you're right - it's what truly inspires and brings us closer. It's all about being real and showing that it's okay to fail, as long as we get back up. Thanks for setting such a powerful example!

This is really good. Starting with vulnerability instead of resorting to it as a last-ditch effort is an amazing turnaround.
