The Accountability Shift in Education and Work

It’s one thing to talk about being open and authentic, but how do you actually do it without losing your team’s respect and trust? This is a conversation I had with with Robert Glazer on his Elevate Podcast. In this episode, I explain the difference between just being vulnerable and leading with vulnerability. We explore why so many leaders today are struggling with decision-making and accountability, and how the post-pandemic era has challenged many leaders to redefine their roles. We’ll get into why having too much psychological safety can actually backfire, why flexible work policies need clear boundaries and standards to succeed, and how you can balance being empathetic with holding people accountable in your organization. I also share insights from the 100 CEOs I interviewed for my new book, Leading with Vulnerability, on how to handle that fine line between showing your human side and maintaining confidence and authority.
