Vulnerability

Vulnerability is still considered a taboo word in many professional environments—especially in leadership circles.

And yet, without vulnerability:

• … there is no room for error, and therefore no innovation,

• … no truly inclusive culture,

• … and weaker, less cohesive teams.

On the other hand, when a safe and trusting environment is established, daring to share one’s vulnerabilities can unlock vast creativity, while strengthening the collective by fostering more authentic, inclusive, and resilient relationships.

There is a clear correlation between a culture that welcomes vulnerability and long-term, sustainable performance.

The world of sports, in particular, offers countless inspiring examples. Let’s take a cue from them!
