“Said differently, in the modern work environment, the cycle of learning, unlearning, and learning again demands that workers embrace their agency to act and work in ways that make them more creative, more productive, and more fully human.

The honest and fearless embrace of your own vulnerability builds the psychological safety that enables your team to be active, adaptive learners.”
― Heather E McGowan, The Empathy Advantage: Leading the Empowered Workforce
