Can you be strong by showing your weakness at work?

Leadership isn't just about being strong and visionary, nor is it simply about being vulnerable. It's about balancing both. In today's workplace, leaders are faced with a unique dilemma—should they lead with authority or with authenticity? You need to do both. In today's Leadership Spark, I unpack the critical difference between being vulnerable and leading with vulnerability with insights from 140 CEOs I interviewed. We'll explore how the best leaders aren't afraid to show their gaps, but they take action to close them. From stories like Hollis Harris at Continental Airlines to Fleetwood Grobler at Sasol, you'll learn why sharing challenges without a plan can cost you the job, but leading with vulnerability can rebuild entire companies.
