You should NOT be vulnerable at work!

Yes, you read that right. Vulnerability is about exposing a gap and doing so can actually cause far more harm than good. Leading with vulnerability on the other hand, is exposing a gap and then demonstrating what you are doing to close the gap. I interviewed over 100 of the world’s top CEOs and surveyed 14,000 employees to figure out how to combine vulnerability with leadership so that you can create trust, unlock the potential of those around you, and drive business performance.

It's refreshing to see a CEO embrace vulnerability and authenticity as essential qualities for great leadership. Admitting uncertainty and being open about one's feelings not only fosters trust but also encourages a more empathetic and collaborative work environment. It's a reminder that leadership isn't about projecting strength but about creating a supportive and honest atmosphere that encourages personal and collective growth.
