He Was Working Over 100 Hours A Week, Then All Of A Sudden, His Life Came Crashing Down

This is a special and exclusive episode which is actually one of the interviews I did for my upcoming book, Leading with Vulnerability: Unlock Your Greatest Superpower to Transform Yourself, Your Team, and Your Organization.

I interviewed over 100 CEOs at companies around the world asking them about what it means to lead with vulnerability. I asked about failures, challenges, painful experiences, leadership lessons, and everything in between. The conversations are all unscripted, candid, and filled with amazing insights and stories. I’ll be releasing a few of these over the coming months with several (GE, American Airlines, Edward Jones, etc) being available exclusively to people who pre-order a hardcover copy of the book. To get access to these send me a screenshot of your order to [email protected].

In this interview Paul will share how vulnerability has played a role in his leadership journey. He shares examples of when he had to be vulnerable at work and what the impact of that was. For Paul, leading with vulnerability is a crucial pillar of his success but it hasn’t always been easy. Paul also talks about the importance of getting candid feedback to help you grow as a leader, the value of showing emotion at work, and why early on his career his people called him a robot.

Paul makes a compelling case that leaders who open up, take appropriate risks, and forge human connections are more effective and happier.
