Exploring the Nuances of Vulnerability and Authenticity

The misconception is that vulnerability means sharing everything, but that's not true. Authentic and vulnerable leaders can disclose very little while some who disclose everything are not authentic. It is possible to be vulnerable without sharing too much about emotions or personal life. Maintaining some privacy while being open about difficult situations can be empowering. It allows others to be human too and creates a safe space where everyone's needs are respected.
