Over the last month we have experienced the impact existing leaders can have on cultural change. I am sure many existing leaders are unaware of the impact they create when they show vulnerability. By sharing stories and by showing what they are experiencing in order to change the way they lead then others are encouraged to make changes too.
They can also be more supportive of their leaders as they work hard to change. People always wait to see if the existing leaders are really going to make the changes they say they are going to make to create the new culture.
So if you are an existing leader pay attention to what you are doing to show vulnerability to pave the way for others to follow.
