Only when diverse perspectives are included, respected, and valued can we start to get a full picture of the world: who we serve, what they need, and how to successfully meet people where they are. Listen, learn, unlearn, know when to lead, and know when to let others lead.

Brené Brown’s plain-spoken lessons on vulnerability seem to have particular resonance right now, especially her new podcast “Unlocking Us.” @BillWhitakerCBS sits down with the professor and best-selling author tomorrow.

It’s not fear that gets in the way of daring leadership; it’s armor. When things get tough, do we lean in to vulnerability and get curious, or do we self-protect in ways that move us away from our values? Read more here: bit.ly/2SAZ5Y0
