Vulnerability in leadership may seem counterintuitive, often mistaken for weakness in a world that celebrates perfection and infallibility. As a result, many leaders, fearing criticism and exposure, feel the need to maintain a facade of flawlessness. But the truth is, the key to unlocking true leadership credibility lies in vulnerability—it’s a powerful strength. It is the courage to show up as your authentic self, to admit your imperfections, and to ask for help when needed. In our latest blog, we explore how leaders like Gloria Walton, Marlon Peterson, Kaci Y. Patterson, MBA, Marilu Salvador, Miroslava Herrera, Kevin Hainline, and others from the Aspen Global Leadership Network, are redefining leadership by embracing vulnerability and authenticity. Discover how this approach leads to greater connection, collaboration, and innovation: https://lnkd.in/dHftTE9C
