    Closing the Gap Between Vulnerability and Leadership with Jacob Morgan

    As an HR leader, how do you balance a work culture of strong, visionary, and confident employees with discussions about their challenges, failures, and struggles?
    You start by normalizing the idea of vulnerability at work.

In this episode, he discusses the important challenge of introducing vulnerability in a work setting.
    Jacob shares his own personal journey, starting out as a skeptic and ending as a believer. He also hones in on a crucial takeaway: vulnerability is only effective when combined with competence and leadership.
    With actionable tips and strategies, you’ll learn how you can integrate vulnerability into your own leadership style.
