Ep 562: Vulnerability At Work
Oct 26, 2023•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
Showing your vulnerability is becoming a common theme in personal development as a way of fostering good mental health and a route to building resilience and reducing anxiety. Leaders are often told to show vulnerability at work, but the dynamic between doing this in your professional life is somewhat different than in your life outside of work.
So, how can leaders use their vulnerability to motivate their teams, and what skills do they need to learn to do so?
My guest this week is Jacob Morgan, Futurist, Speaker and Author of a new book called Leading With Vulnerability. I've always been a fan of Jacob's writing. In our conversation, he talks about the art of leading with vulnerability and shares some insights about the skills we will all need for the uncertain future of work.
In the interview, we discuss:
What is vulnerability at work?
Adding leadership to vulnerability
Taking action to create positive outcomes
Creating connections
Warmth and competence
The importance of intention

What skills do we need to develop for the future of work?
