Strength in Vulnerability

3 Oct 2010 by

Here’s a link to a recent radio broadcast from the BBC World Service. (20 mins; scroll down the page and play ‘Chapter 1′)

Former England cricket captain and now psychoanalyst, Mike Brearley offers an insight into the dynamic of teams and explains what makes the difference between a good and a great team.

Drawing upon his own experience, he points to the weakness of narcissism and argues that the strongest leader can admit vulnerability.

If you think you have challenging team members, imagine what it’s like trying to lead Ian Botham?
