  + stars: | 2023-01-10 | by ( Melody Wilding | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
The best way to be vulnerable is to share without relying on others to respond in any certain way. Many leaders say they embrace vulnerability because it allows them to connect with colleagues and team members on a deeper level. Vulnerability scripts attempt to "hotwire" connectionInterpersonal connections aren't made overnight, and that's why a vulnerability script doesn't usually have the intended effect. A vulnerability script has one hallmark quality: people don't buy it. Instead of trying to force listeners to play along with a vulnerability script, you're presenting an authentic (and yet not unfiltered) side of yourself.

☆ China decoupling takes one step forward, one back

It has pushed for reshoring production of electric vehicles and silicon chips, and legislated to delist Chinese companies from New York. Europe, Japan, Australia and India have implemented their own measures ranging from restrictions on Chinese investment, excluding equipment from telecoms networks, and banning consumer apps. The impact the pandemic has had on Chinese supply chains has retroactively validated the push to separate. For politicians who hope to replicate the Chinese supply chain via tax tweaks, subsidies and sanctions, it’s worth remembering China started building out the requisite logistical infrastructure in the 1980s. Non-financial outbound direct investment in the same 10-month period rose 10.3% year-on-year to 627.4 billion yuan, Shu said.

Critics on both sides of the political divide say that social-media platforms have too much power over public discourse and use this power irresponsibly.

While more users are flocking to TikTok, Easter said big tech firms could miss out if they don't invest in content creation.
