The Importance of Vulnerability at Work

Vulnerability is often seen as a sign of weakness, causing people to put on armor and hide their true selves, especially in the workplace. However, vulnerability is not weakness, but rather a source of strength and connection. The myth that vulnerability is weak must be dispelled. Without vulnerability, there can be no courage. Armor is often worn at work due to low trust and confidence, leading to behaviors like cynicism and perfectionism. It is crucial to challenge this belief and create a workplace culture that embraces vulnerability.
