Sparks: 8 Attributes You Need to Be a Vulnerable Leader (According to Over 100 CEOs)
Description
What makes vulnerability in leadership powerful, but also dangerous? Leaders often confuse vulnerability with simply admitting mistakes or showing emotions. But without the right foundation, being “open” can backfire, leaving you looking weak or incompetent instead of inspiring trust. In today’s Leadership Spark, the spotlight is on the eight attributes of vulnerable leaders, distilled from my conversations with over 100 global CEOs. The discussion reveals that vulnerability on its own isn’t enough. It has to be paired with strong leadership qualities. We’ll unpack the three crucial attributes leaders need, such as competence, self-confidence, and motivation. You’ll hear real-world stories from failed $150M bets to CEOs battling panic attacks that show how uncomfortable but necessary vulnerability is.
