Quotes
“Leading with vulnerability is about talking about a gap [in competence,
knowledge, experience, etc.] that you have and then demonstrating what
you’re trying to do to close those gaps. ”
“The #1 response that came back [from 14,000 employees who were asked
why they were scared to lead with vulnerability at work] was, ‘I don’t want to
be perceived as weak or incompetent.”
