Praise for LEADING with VULNERABILITY This is a well-researched, compelling book about something we spend far too little time thinking about: being human. It works. --Seth Godin, author of The Song of Significance Jacob takes a wonderfully thorough look at one of the most important--and lacking--qualities in leaders. And he does so with a raw and honest approach that makes his point all the more powerful! -- Patrick Lencioni, bestselling author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and The Six Types of Working Genius Vulnerability, in today's complex, uncertain world, is simply a fact. Good leaders don't shy away from, but instead acknowledge and embrace this reality. Backed by a study of 100 CEOs and a survey of 14,000 employees, Jacob has put together an invaluable resource to help leaders navigate vulnerability to achieve more, build trust, and drive performance.-- Amy C. Edmondson, professor, Harvard Business School; author of Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well and The Fearless Organization Leading With Vulnerability meticulously lays out how to do the very thing that can transform companies, but which leaders are too often afraid to do. --Robert Irvine, Celebrity Chef, entrepreneur, and author of Overcoming Impossible I applaud Jacob for pushing us all to understand that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to vulnerability. The insights and experiences from these leaders have the potential to strike a nerve no matter your title or tenure. --Michael Miebach, CEO, Mastercard This book is a serious game-changer, because we've been thinking about leadership all wrong. Whether you're a CEO of a Fortune 500 or an entrepreneur with a team of two, Leading with Vulnerability is packed with strategies and practical tools to help you become a leader who knows how to make an impact. --Mel Robbins, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast Empowering today's leaders--and today's world--to embrace vulnerability will help build more effective, inclusive teams and more resilient communities. Through his in-depth research, Jacob has unlocked a unique and much-needed perspective. Incredible things are possible when leaders combine intellectual competency with vulnerability. --Kathy Warden, Chair, President and CEO, Northrop Grumman This book is a game-changer for current and aspiring leaders. Jacob provides readers with a treasure trove of insights on how to connect with team members, unlock potential, and drive business performance. I wish I had this book when I was entering the business world! --Frank Blake, former chairman and CEO, The Home Depot
