Reflecting on Vulnerability in Leadership

Diary of a Doer

I think vulnerability brings people together in beautiful ways, but when you lead a team, it’s scary to show that side of yourself. You may wonder if your team will still respect your authority and see you as a confident, decisive person.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

1. Why historically being “the strong one” prevents your vulnerability in leadership
2. How vulnerability with others shines a light on your own insecurities – and why it might be hard to face those
3. How to handle the fear of people’s perceptions of you
4. How to be vulnerable — with boundaries

Here are other resources I mention:

• TED Talk - “The Power of Vulnerability,” Brené Brown
• FREE: 50 Things To Outsource to an EA
