The Strength of Being Vulnerable
summary
Claim: vulnerability builds trust and improves outcomes. Evidence: built insider threat programs at Uber and Tesla (hired full teams and launched operations), Brené Brown’s definition of vulnerability as uncertainty risk and emotional exposure, a porch-assembly anecdote where someone nailed a TV stand to the floor instead of asking for help, and the Michael Jordan story where passing to Steve Kerr produces the 1997 championship–winning shot. Concrete tools are hiring, program launch, reflection and candid conversation; results: repaired trust and a championship-level payoff.
