In this episode, Kamini Wood redefines vulnerability in the context of leadership, challenging the outdated notion that it's a weakness. Drawing on research from Brené Brown and the Harvard Business Review, she explains that vulnerability is a courageous act of showing up authentically, and it builds emotional safety, trust, and loyalty within teams. Kamini uses a client's story to illustrate how moving from a controlling, image-conscious leadership style to one that embraces openness and acknowledges uncertainty can dramatically improve team cohesion and genuine collaboration. She also touches on the neuroscience behind it, noting that the brain is wired to respond positively to vulnerability as a sign of honesty and courage.
