How to Lead with Authenticity and Vulnerability
In this week's episode, I chat with Melissa Creede, a leadership expert who shares powerful insights on how leaders can embrace authenticity while maintaining authority. We dive deep into how transparency can positively influence teams and what it takes to find a balance between vulnerability and authority.
Top takeaways you can apply today:
- Be transparent about your challenges: Let your team know when you're having an off day. It builds trust and stops assumptions from spreading.
- Vulnerability with purpose: Share your struggles only when it serves to connect or teach others, not as a burden.
- Understand your values: Knowing your top 3-5 core values will help you align with your authentic self and guide decision-making.
- Connect beyond personal stories: Ask team members about their work experiences and feelings to connect on a deeper, human level.
Listen to the episode for more actionable advice on leading with authenticity.
