Short excerpt from a YouTube video by James Laughlin in which a speaker advises leaders to practice vulnerability. The speaker contrasts people who only tout successes with the power of admitting mistakes, sharing challenges, and explaining lessons learned to inspire honesty and learning within teams.
And we've all met people who, like, the only thing they say is all their successes. And they're always touting things, but it's really the vulnerability. You know, I found vulnerability inspires honesty. And so when I work with leaders, I'm like, be vulnerable. You know, you can share the challenges and then share what you learned. But if you just say, oh, it's important that we do this and this. No, tell them how you screwed up or what you learned or what happened.
