Dare to Lead: Brave Work, Tough Conversations, Whole Hearts

More about the book

Leadership transcends titles and power; it involves recognizing and nurturing the potential in people and ideas. True leaders embrace curiosity, asking the right questions instead of claiming to have all the answers. They understand that power is not limited and grows when shared. Rather than shying away from tough conversations, they confront vulnerability to foster meaningful work. In a culture marked by scarcity and fear, effective leadership requires developing deeply human traits. Ironically, while we neglect to cultivate emotional intelligence in leaders, we seek to differentiate ourselves from machines and AI. Our unique strengths lie in empathy, connection, and courage. Over two decades, Brené Brown has explored the emotions that enrich our lives and, for the past seven years, has collaborated with transformative leaders and teams worldwide. She discovered a common inquiry among leaders across various sectors—from startups to Fortune 50 companies: How can we nurture braver, more daring leaders and instill the value of courage within our organizational culture?
