“Growing and learning often involves failure and can be embarrassing,” Owens said. “But leaders who can overcome their fears and broadcast their feelings as they work through the messy internal growth process will be viewed more favourably by their followers. They also will legitimise their followers’ own growth journeys and will have higher-performing organizations,” he said.
The researchers found that such leaders model how to be effectively human rather than superhuman and legitimize “becoming” rather than “pretending”.
