SEATTLE, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The following blog post was published on February 15, 2010, by Shafeen Charania, author of the synthesis blog, winner of the 2008 Weblog award for best new blog, and Time.com's 25 best blogs of 2009.
Being vulnerable is viewed as a bad thing - whether in government, business or personally. It creates the perception of weakness, that you or your organization are not able, or not strong enough to cope with the real world.
I disagree - being vulnerable is about caring, it is about being expressive and honest. Your vulnerability doesn't imprison you - it sets you free. It gives you the power to have faced and not hidden; it gives you the ability to live and not cope; it secures you in the knowledge that it is OK to care, to cry, to feel because we are human. We respond to genuine feelings articulated badly and tearfully much more than contrived, homogenized PR/legal speak.
We should never be afraid of expression - it is power.
