Let's begin this Blink by posing a thought-provoking question to Leaders and Management: What is it that makes you feel vulnerable? Is it the Fear Of Failure, Judgment, Rejection, or Exposing Your True Self? Vulnerability is a universal human emotion. We feel it when we expose ourselves to others and experience times of risk or uncertainty. In any organization, the fear of failure and shame can lead people to hold back ideas, avoid risks and tough conversations. This stifles learning and creativity to hinder success in a world that demands continuous #innovation .
