“…vulnerability will not give you high performance in and of itself. But if you’re already doing the work and performing at a high level, an absence of vulnerability will always stop you from getting to the next level.״ Brené Brown
Leadership in the current era requires knowing how to engage with and touch people. Dealing with political, economic, and social crises during the last few years repeatedly revealed one simple fact – we are all human, we all have fears, worries, anxieties, dreams and desires. We all have family members we worry about, even when we’re at work. The reality of the world we are living in presents a new challenge: the blurring of the personal and professional worlds. Therein lies an opportunity for change – in order to lead organizations today, a more humane, attentive and sensitive leadership is required, one that enables us to bring forth much more of ourselves, and be more present in our teams and tasks.
Vulnerable leadership is one that combines openness, honesty and compassion. It engages and motivates through the human connection within us and in relation with our work partners. It is leadership that leads to effective communication within the organization, deepens and strengthens the connections prevalent within the teams, and creates a trust-based environment. Organizations that encourage vulnerable leadership enjoy greater creativity and motivation, lower burnout rates, and higher employee engagement.
In this workshop, we will learn about the inspiring form of leadership, the components of vulnerability through meaningful experiential experience, and explore the possibility of leadership in an organization on the basis of contained vulnerability. The teams will experiment with individual exercises as well as colleague-interaction exercises, which deal with developing connection and emotional engagement.
The tools taught in the workshop were developed by Shachar Caspi and are inspired by physical psychotherapy and coaching focused on personal and group transformation.
