Jess Von Bank spoke with 5X Best-Selling Author,\xa0Jacob Morgan, on TODAY'S Digital Meetup at 1P ET, about a crucial topic that can impact building a human-centric workforce: How to lead with vulnerability and still be an effective leader.

Jacob believes this and interviewed over\xa0100 CEOs of companies like GE, American Airlines, Hyatt, The Home Depot, and SAP, to prove it in his latest book:\xa0Leading with Vulnerability: Unlock Your Greatest Superpower to Transform Yourself, Your Team, and Your Organization.

How can you make vulnerability your superpower?
