Finance Leaders – are you afraid to share vulnerability❓

Leadership 1 Minute

Brené Brown defines vulnerability as uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure.

Vulnerability and leadership are symbiotic friends.

I am not saying that we should be crying in the office. When finance leaders share how they feel, their teams are more willing to open up and share what they are feeling, thinking and experiencing.

It does require us to be more courageous though and embrace that feeling of being outside our comfort zone.

This week we release the sixth leadership chronicle and a story of success shared by Mohamed ELRouby ACMA, CGMA, FPAC, MBA from the 6th conversation of #globalleadershiphypothesis – what makes a great leader.

Food for thought. Leaders who allow themselves to be vulnerable with their teams:

💡 Build better relationships

💡 Connect at a deeper level with individuals and teams

💡 Create the conditions for psychologically safe teams where people are not afraid to be authentic and bring more of their real selves to work

💡 Bond their teams through trust

💡 Positively impact the creativity and culture of the team

Are you comfortable to share vulnerability to achieve more ❓

Take your leadership to the next level

I understand the pressures facing finance professionals: Prioritisation, career progression, leadership & people dynamics. For a third of my career, I was operating at only half my potential. I was differentiating myself through my analytical mind. I had not yet learnt how to be a transformational and inspiring people leader. I realised from working with thousands of leaders for some big brands; Investec, KPMG and BMW, that greater impact can be found through a focus on people and leadership dynamics. I am an experienced C-Suite executive, non-executive director, entrepreneur, author and international speaker with more than 22 years of corporate experience. As the former CFO and CHRO of BMW UK Ltd. and BMW Financial Services Ltd., I understand the financial language of business, strategy, and risk and the pressures facing finance professionals. My vision is to help organisations and leaders to engage their people effectively. I have led and implemented award-winning cultural transformation programmes in multiple industries. I published my first book, “The Authenticity Dilemma Resolved®” in November 2016; which captures my experiences of working with thousands of leaders to increase their confidence and help them bring more of their real selves to all interactions to become inspiring, transformational leaders. I am passionate about helping to develop the generation of finance leaders; who have the mindset to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
