ERIN HERMAN - Embracing Failure The Path to Authentic Leadership
Send us a text
What keeps women from playing big in leadership? How can we create cultures where failure isn't feared but celebrated? And why is self-prioritization not selfish, but essential?
Leadership strategist Erin Herman tackles these questions in this robust conversation, drawing from her two decades driving global impact at the United Nations and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Erin reveals that while men apply for jobs when they meet just 60% of qualifications, women typically wait until they meet 100%. This hesitation stems not merely from self-doubt but from navigating systems not initially designed for women's success. She provides actionable strategies to combat this, including conducting "job audits" to ensure titles match responsibilities and shifting from permission language ("I think") to ownership statements ("I recommend").
Perhaps most transformative is Erin's approach to failure. "Perfectionism is fear wearing a mask," she explains. She advocates for "micro wins," celebrating successes and failures. This practice builds team resilience and rewards risk-taking, essential qualities for innovation and growth.
Listen now to discover how to lead with authenticity, embrace failure as growth, and recognize the power of your unique leadership voice.
