Throughout the conversation, Robb encourages leaders to be authentic, vulnerable, and open to receiving from others.

• The paradox of closeness can make it difficult for leaders to receive deeply from those they are closest to.
• The fear of conditions placed on giving can create a barrier to receiving.
