Should business leaders show their struggles to their staff?

[Etini]

When it comes to leadership, the unrealistic expectation is that a business leader should act in control at all times. Even when he or she is struggling, the team should not know. Does it demoralize a team if a business leader shares his struggles with them? I would say No and here are my reasons.

1) It creates a sense of authenticity among team members: When a business leader let's his team members to know about his struggles, it creates a sense of realness among team members. And they would always open heartedly work for a leader who is real with them.

2) It builds trust and open communication: When a business leader shares his vulnerability, the team members can better trust him and openly communicate any challenge they face to him.

Becoming a leader or manager in a business organization is totally not an easy activity because it takes a lot of failures to build experience in the line of business leadership and management. Staffs and workers in a business organization might absolutely need a lot of motivation when it comes to doing their roles and responsibilities well, a business owner of business manager can try to communicate his or her struggle so he staffs and workers in order to make them picture how hard it is for him to bring the business today it is today. This can be a good form of motivation as work as an employees in the business organization can learn from their managers hard work and never try to make him feel limited.
