The myth of the infallible leader is crumbling. Brené Brown's research in "Daring Greatly" showed what many already know: vulnerability drives innovation and creativity. For today's executives, showing vulnerability isn't a weakness—it's a strategic advantage. When leaders embrace vulnerability: ?? Team members feel safe to take risks ?? Creative solutions emerge from open discussions ?? Trust deepens, enabling authentic collaboration ?? Mistakes become learning opportunities, not sources of shame This represents a fundamental shift—moving from projected perfection to authentic connection. The strongest leaders understand that by acknowledging their humanity, they don't diminish their authority—they enhance it. What examples have you seen of leaders demonstrating vulnerability? How has it transformed your team?
