Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is
anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people
and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential.
When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we
stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite
and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with
others. We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean
into vulnerability when it's necessary to do good work.
But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and
uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and
uniquely human. The irony is that we're choosing not to invest in
developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as
we're scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and
AI can't do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy,
connection, and courage, to start.
Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown has spent
the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give
meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with
transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that
leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and
family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune
50 companies all ask the same question:
How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed
the value of courage in your culture?
In this new book, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer
these questions in the no-BS style that millions of readers have come to
expect and love.
Brown writes, "One of the most important findings of my career is that
daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100
percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It's learning and
unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up
with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort
is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with
our lives and our work. It's why we're here."
Whether you've read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you're new
to Brené Brown's work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and
into brave leadership.
