In this episode, we delve into the significance of vulnerability in building trust within organisations and leadership teams. The conversation begins with a light-hearted anecdote and transitions into a deep discussion on how vulnerability, when used genuinely, can foster stronger relationships, trust, and rapport. We explore cultural aspects, the difference between task-based and relationship-based trust, and real-world examples of how leaders can effectively demonstrate vulnerability to inspire their teams. We also touch on the misuse of vulnerability as a marketing technique on platforms like LinkedIn, comparing genuine and faux displays of personal struggles.
