My Next Book About Being A Vulnerable Leader And How You Can Be Featured In It!

My Next Book About Being A Vulnerable Leader And How You Can Be Featured In It!

Vulnerability is something I struggle with and I know I'm not alone.

I come from a Russian immigrant family and let's just say Russians aren't exactly known for being vulnerable or emotional.

In fact, we all struggle with vulnerability, especially at work and leaders suffer from this the most.

Why?

Because we have always been taught that vulnerability is bad and that if you're vulnerable you're weak.

Pardon my language but that is complete bullsh*t!

This is why I'm excited to announce that my next book is going to explore vulnerability in leadership. It's tentatively scheduled to come out at the beginning of 2023 and I'm just now in the writing and research process, that's where you come in!

I'm looking for stories, examples, and insights from my community so that I can feature YOU in my book and also invite you to be a guest on a soon-to-be-released podcast.

I'm also going to be interviewing some of the world's top CEOs.

If you're in any kind of leadership role I want to know things about you like:

  1. What does vulnerability mean to you?
  2. Can you share a time when you were vulnerable at work and what the impact was?
  3. Have you ever been vulnerable at work and had it backfire?
  4. Was being vulnerable something you were taught or something you had to just do?
  5. Are there any techniques you have used to help you be vulnerable at work?

These are just a few of the questions I'm looking to get insights on.

I've already collected many responses from around the world which are touching, insightful, and most importantly impactful.

The responses are so personal and emotional that I teared up when reading some of them and I can't wait to share them with the world when the book comes out.

You can choose to be anonymous in the survey or you can even email me your thoughts directly at jacob[at]thefutureorganization[dot]com.

Being vulnerable at work isn't something we should be scared of, it's something we should embrace and encourage but that can't happen unless we are all willing to talk about it.

Will you share your experiences and insights on vulnerability with me? I'm listening with big ears and an open heart!

Please go here to complete my survey or email me jacob[at]thefutureorganization[dot]com.

Such an important topic. I’m excited to see steps taken to breaking the typical leader mold and normalizing elements of vulnerability.

Read some bell hooks, my favorite book is Teaching to Transgress. Teaching and learning is a reciprocal environment, To learn one must teach, to teach one must learn. To do this well takes vulnerability and lots of love, awareness, wisdom, and grace! My favorite parts are when she talks about the complexity of intersectionl power issues in discussions and describes the voices needed are like a recipe all ingredients are needed for successful completion, too much or missing any ingredient can impact the success of the bread. So how do you set up spaces to allow for all the required ingredients to mix and influence and grow.
