Vulnerable Organisations – Successful Organisations

If you can’t measure it, it doesn’t exist.

Brené Brown is a researcher who believed this to be true.  In our organisations we have many who hold to this maxim.  Yet, on another level, we know that there are things – messy, intangible things – that can’t be measured…at least not quantitatively.

Brené Brown started her research looking for a way to measure the intangible and ended up with some surprising insights that are not only useful to life, but also to organisational life.

Watch this video and let me know what your thoughts are.

Below are a few questions to stimulate your thinking:

As a leader, be vulnerable with yourself and think honestly about the following:

How worthy am I of love and respect?

Am I enough?

How true does the following statement appear to me “Vulnerability is the birthplace of strength and creativity – Denying vulnerability is to deny creativity”?

What would change in how I manage/lead my team if I see us as ‘enough’?
