Be a courageous leader who illuminated flaws instead of hiding them. The ability to be vulnerable is such an important aspect of life that I switched the two words sitting on my nightstand from "Thank You" to "Radical Humility," as a reminder to be humble and allow myself to be vulnerable.\nAnd it's not simply being vulnerable as a person at home with your family; it is essential to also be vulnerable as a leader in business.\nVulnerability is simply the courage to be yourself, "warts and all," a core component of effective leadership. Leaders who try to portray themselves as invulnerable or perfect will soon find that their message does not resonate with their team.\nNot only that, but a fa\xe7ade of invulnerability is a defense which attracts attacks from others. Vulnerability means living in authenticity.
