Anyone familiar with Heisenberg’s Principle<\/a> knows that life is a crap shoot. Why should leadership be any different?<\/p>\n

The modern workplace is uncertain, fast paced workplaces are doubly so. “If it’s not one thing, it’s another.” <\/p>\n

As a leader, you have to be prepared to be caught off guard. You can mitigate the pain with preparation and hope your credibility will save you. It still hurts when you make a mistake, or something goes wrong, or not according to plan, doubly so when someone points it out.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability and “commitment” have a cause and effect relationship. If you lack one, you likely will lack the other. Strengthening one will make you stronger in the other.<\/p>\n

Become tough, develop a thick skin, so you can feel safe when vulnerable. Be compassionate with co-workers, but let them know that hiding their vulnerability is not the best way to overcome it. Not committing themselves is not an option.<\/p>\n
