Be a more vulnerable leader in times of crisis....

Question

My colleague shared this with me and it really resonated with me. I think we all need to allow ourselves to be fully present and show our vulnerability with our teams.

Asking for help is a struggle for me. I feel like I should know all of the answers, but I don't get irritated when people ask me questions, so I guess I should follow suit! I also work in a culture where making mistakes and admitting them is commonplace, so that part is easier.  Working in an empathetic culture is great, and I highly encourage developing that type of workplace!

Michelle - Thank you for sharing the article.  I love the points and reminds me that being vulnerable builds trust which is the foundation of relationships.  My favorite is when you make a mistake, admit it, and apologize.  Although, telling the truth is right up there too.  What about you? Which one is easy for you and which one is a challenge? Early in my career, asking for help was difficult.  Sometimes it's easier to do it yourself than teach someone else.
