Sparks: It's Okay to be Human: How Leaders Can Turn Vulnerability Into a Superpower

Sparks: It's Okay to be Human: How Leaders Can Turn Vulnerability Into a Superpower

Most leaders think vulnerability is risky, but avoiding it is far riskier. Despite all the research and talk about authenticity, only 11% of companies view vulnerability as a leadership strength—and 84% of employees rarely, if ever, see it practiced. That's a problem. In today's Leadership Spark, we explore what happens when leaders embrace vulnerability, and what's lost when they don't. Backed by my research across thousands of employees and organizations, you'll uncover in this episode how leading with vulnerability isn't just about being authentic. It's a strategy for building trust, connection, and lasting impact. You'll also learn how to balance confidence with openness, and why your team might be waiting for you to go first in being vulnerable.
