CCM Consultancy's insight:

Vulnerability and authenticity lies at the root of human connection. Vulnerability here does not mean being weak or submissive. To the contrary, it implies the courage to be yourself. It means replacing “professional distance and cool” with uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.

As leaders and employees, we are often taught to keep a distance and project a certain image. An image of confidence, competence and authority. We may disclose our vulnerability to a spouse or close friend behind closed doors at night but we would never show it elsewhere during the day, let alone at work. But research shows that the  happiness employees derive from personal connection at their work fosters greater loyalty than the amount on their paycheck.
