Being a Vulnerable Visionary

“I think the best entrepreneurs are Vulnerable Visionaries. Its a combination of being vulnerable and having confidence.” ~ Chip Conley

I have referenced Chip Conley in my daily posts multiple times, with his concept of “Vulnerable Visionary” one learning I repeatedly share.

Today’s post dives into Chip’s thoughts on what it means to be a Vulnerable Visionary and why it is so important.

I then go on to coin my own Emotional Equation (Chip’s idea too!) on being a Vulnerable Visionary.

Finally, I’ll link this all into how my belief in this concept informed the development and articulation of the types of leaders I wish to attract to work with me and who I love to work with to make a difference!

I hope all of this has value to you in considering your own leadership as well as those who have taught and inspired you.

Chip Conley on being a Vulnerable Visionary

First, I highly recommend this short video of an interview Chip gave back in 2012 on the topic. It is concise and captures the essence of Chip (himself absolutely a Vulnerable Visionary). I saw it back then and it made a huge impression on me, changing and shaping my views on leadership from that point forward.
