When feedback lands hard, what is your first question?
Therapist and author Dr. Chuck DeGroat has spent more than 25 years helping leaders do the inner work. He notices that when leaders are challenged, the first reflex is often defensive: “Why are they going after us?” That reflex is fragility, and Chuck names his own place in it as a late middle-aged white man.
For leaders who want to grow, this is the turning point. Fragility asks how to protect yourself. Character asks what you can learn and who you might become. Introspection starts when you notice the reflex and choose curiosity instead.
