ANECDOTE

The 'Man In The Arena' Turning Point

  • After reading harsh online comments, Brown found strength in Theodore Roosevelt's 'the man in the arena' passage.
  • That quote changed her approach and made her accept risk and public critique.
INSIGHT

Armor Blocks Connection And Innovation

  • Wearing emotional armor protects you from hurt but also blocks everything you want more of.
  • Organizational cultures that reject vulnerability cannot expect innovation or trust to grow.
ADVICE

Start Vulnerability With Shared Language

  • Introduce shared language by showing your team Brown's TED talk or the Life Class episode.
  • Use shared information as the first step to create permission for vulnerability at work.
