Vulnerability is one of the secrets to a successful team. Teams without vulnerability struggle to work together because they don’t know or trust each other.
Achieving vulnerability-based trust is difficult because in the course of career advancement and education, most successful people learn to be competitive with their peers, and protective of their reputations. It is a challenge for them to turn those instincts off for the good of a team, but that is exactly what is required.

As a leader our role is to help the team see the benefit of this vulnerability and create the space for it to happen. We can’t force it to happen, but we can definitely contribute to destroying it by how we lead our team.
