The power of vulnerability is lost
when you don’t dare or don’t know how.
Bill Treasurer, author of, “Leaders Open Doors,” said, “I used to drink too much. Way too much. … Three years after getting sober … I decided to reveal to my boss, a partner at Accenture, that I was in recovery. …
I didn’t expect my boss to pat me on my shoulder and say, ‘Good for you; you’re a drunk!’ I expected more of a reaction than I got.
After I told him that I was in recovery, my boss looked at me quizzically, and muttered, ‘I see.’ Then he made some small-talk and hurried to another meeting.”
“I regretted having told him…”
If you reveal your real self, what’s left if it’s rejected?
Selective vulnerability:
- Not all the time with everyone. “I gotta be me,” is self-centered, weak, and self-indulgent.
