In today’s leadership spark, Eric Miles, CEO of Moss Adams, reflects on his biggest mistakes and failures in business. He acknowledges the pivotal role of a partner who made him realize the importance of influencing and engaging with others. Eric emphasizes the value of self-awareness, vulnerability, and self-compassion, which have allowed him to grow as a leader. 

Eric also highlights the freedom and confidence that comes with accepting imperfection and being comfortable in one's own skin. He acknowledges that vulnerability can be challenging, especially when making tough decisions that may hurt others. However, he finds it freeing and believes it protects him from criticism.

Eric Miles is one of the 100+ CEOs I interviewed for my new book, Leading With Vulnerability which is coming out in October. Check it out here and pre-order your copy now.
