Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The most counterintuitive discovery in modern leadership research is also among its most empirically robust: leaders who demonstrate vulnerability - who openly acknowledge limitations, admit uncertainty, and invite honest dialogue - build trust 60% more effectively than those who project authority and certainty alone. This finding challenges one of the most persistent myths in organizational life: that effective leadership requires the performance of strength. In reality, the Vulnerable Leader Equation - Vulnerability plus Competence equals Vulnerable Leadership - reveals that it is the deliberate combination of openness and capability that generates the deepest and most durable forms of follower trust.This book examines the dual disciplines of shared purpose and leadership vulnerability as the twin foundations of cohesive, high-performance team culture. Drawing on McKinsey's research from The Journey of Leadership, Brené Brown's empirically grounded work on courageous leadership, and Duke Corporate Education's study spanning over 100 CEOs and 14,000 employees globally, it explores how leaders who model vulnerability - openly acknowledging mistakes, expressing genuine uncertainty, and inviting perspectives they do not already hold - create the psychological conditions under which shared purpose becomes not a stated value but a collectively lived commitment. When leaders put outcomes ahead of ego and purpose ahead of personal credit, teams cease to follow a title and begin to follow a direction that belongs to everyone.
