Andrew Bryant is a manager of learning at the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation, responsible for the design and delivery of leadership programs.  

He joins us for this episode of ARLF podcast,Rural Leadership Unearthed, to illuminate what it takes to be a ‘vulnerable leader’. Andrew draws on our second ever episode, with regional arts leader Alysha Herrmann, who describes how she frames the raw and difficult parts of her story to enhance her leadership.

This is the first of a recurring ARLF episode format where we sit down with one of our knowledgeable learning team and go deeper into an aspect of leadership. Here, theory meets practice, as we look at a real mini-case study and examine how we might understand and apply what we’re exploring.

We also get behind the scenes and learn more about Andrew, as he shares his personal experiences with authenticity, self-belief, personal growth and the ongoing development of emotional intelligence.

He also shares two of his favourite resources on the art of vulnerable leadership.


Some highlights:

  • Vulnerability takes courage
  • Self-worth should not be tied to achievements
  • Incremental change is key to personal growth
  • Community connection enhances leadership practice
  • Authentic leaders embrace their full stories, including struggles
  • Courage is essential for practicing vulnerable leadership
  • We are wired for connection, and vulnerability is a key ingredient for trust and understanding.

 

Our host:

Claire Delahunty, is a writer and journalist who has worked with the ARLFfor more than ten years, interviewing leaders having a positive impact on ruraland regional Australia.
