6dVulnerability in leadership is so important for building trust and creating a more human workplace. Looking forward to listening to your conversation!
“Leading with Vulnerability” is highly practical when applied thoughtfully. It fosters trust, authenticity, and deeper connections within teams, creating a culture where employees feel safe to share ideas and challenges. However, its success depends on context and balance—leaders must pair vulnerability with competence to avoid perceptions of weakness. Practicality also varies across industries and company cultures; environments valuing transparency and collaboration are more conducive to its effective implementation.
