Brene Brown Quote
Another great example of the power of vulnerability -- this time in a corporation -- is the leadership approach taken by Lululemon's CEO, Christine Day. In a video interview with CNN Money, Day explained that she was once a very bright, smart executive who majored in being right. Her transformation came when she realized that getting people to engage and take ownership wasn't about the teling but about letting them come into the idea in a purpose-led way, and that her job was creating the space for others to perform. She chracterized this change as the shift from having the best idea or problem solving to being the best leader of people.
