Summary

“The key to leadership is being vulnerable.” Although this concept has been trending for more than a few years now, there is still plenty of ambiguity around what that actually looks like in the real world. We know this because as a leadership development company, we consistently get questions about it - What do I need to be vulnerable about? How much is too much? When is the best time to share? Today’s episode answers these questions and several others, to help you become a better leader and teammate through a willingness to share your flaws. A few specifics we address are: How the perception of credibility has changed over time 3 key features of credibility How the vulnerability loop enhances relationships “The little things” that contribute to trustworthiness and warmth Referenced Resources: Valued: If you’re struggling with feeling under-valued in your current job or position, this episode is just a starting point for ways to influence how you’re perceived by others in the workplace.

0:00.0	A few things are more frustrating than when you feel like you're overwhelmed in over your
0:14.8	head or not sure what to do in a particular situation.

0:38.4	clear if you haven't heard about this. This is something that we haven't marketed much,
