This study shows the huge benefits when leaders are vulnerable:
Share to linkedinBeing vulnerable can be terrifying for a leader. Derived from the Latin root vulnus, which means wound, vulnerable literally means being susceptible to attack or harm. And that sounds terrifying; who in their right mind would leave themselves open to harm?
But, as crazy as it sounds, there are huge benefits when people in positions of power expose their imperfections, or at least admit that things are not entirely perfect.,” I had no idea how much employees love it when their bosses share the challenges they’re facing. I, like many putative leadership experts, figured that employees would be happiest hearing their leaders talk about successes; both theirs and the company’s.
Now, that by itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but we also asked people whether they would recommend their company as a great organization to work for. And here we discovered that 63% of employees who think their organization Always openly shares the challenges facing it will strongly recommend it as a great organization to work for.
If, for example, I’m sitting in a meeting with other executives that have access to the same data I do about our declining market share, it doesn’t really benefit me to hide that information. The executives in that meeting already have the data, so I might as well be vulnerable and expose my weaknesses and share the challenge.
