When you imagine a leader, you might think of someone with authority, stoicism, and strength. These qualities have their place, but true leadership means forging connections with others, which is impossible without some level of vulnerability.

In this episode, Sylvain reflects on how leading with vulnerability has helped him foster diversity of thought, remain present in tough times, and build relationships in healthcare.
