Future Ready Leadership With Jacob Morgan

Sparks: Blessing, Curse, or Both: How Vulnerability Can Be a Liability and How to Turn It Into an Asset


Listen Later

The thing is, vulnerability in leadership isn't always the strength it's cracked up to be. In fact, it can sometimes be your biggest liability. In today's Leadership Spark, we explore the surprising truth about how vulnerability can backfire, especially for CEOs and top executives. From the dangers of opening up to the wrong people, to the physiological stress responses even the most powerful leaders experience when faced with vulnerability, this episode dives into the complex reality of being open in the workplace. We also tackle the fine line between vulnerability and competence—how showing your human side can either elevate or undermine your leadership. If you're ready to rethink the way vulnerability fits into leadership, this conversation is a must-listen.
