The achilles’ heel is a metaphor for vulnerability. As leaders, our vulnerabilities can bring us down. Unfortunately, we can bring our team and organization down with us. It can also be tough to get a handle on just what our achilles’ heel is because people are so apt to tell us what they think we want to hear. Why don’t we take some time to reflect on this and think about what our achilles’ heel or vulnerabilities are as leaders? In my next post, I will talk about my personal reflections on this question and share some of the most common leadership achilles’ heels. As always, I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you so much for all the emails about my recent posts. Your support inspires me!
P.S. Remember, we are all leaders of something, whether it be an organization, a team, a functional area or ourselves!
