Hey Axis Leaders, This week, I want us to lean into a truth that often gets overlooked in leadership: vulnerability. In this TED Talk, Brené Brown reminds us that vulnerability is not weakness—it’s actually one of the greatest signs of courage. When leaders admit they don’t have all the answers, they build deeper trust and connection with their teams. Authenticity creates the kind of culture where people feel safe to bring their whole selves to the table. 🔗 Brené Brown – The Power of Vulnerability; https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_the_power_of_vulnerability 💡 Key Takeaways: - Vulnerability is not weakness—it’s courage. - Leaders who admit they don’t have all the answers build trust. - Connection comes from authenticity. 👉 Discussion: How can showing vulnerability make you a stronger leader?
