Our view
“Dare to Lead” argues that courage and vulnerability at work are skills that can be learned, and makes the case in a frank, personal way. Readers value the message, and some find it useful beyond leadership, in relationships too. The coined terms and business jargon put some off, as do a few formulaic anecdotes, and readers who know Brown’s earlier books may meet many familiar stories here.

About the book
The original must-read, bestselling guide to becoming the best leader you can be from the critically-acclaimed author of Atlas of the Heart, Braving the Wilderness and The Gifts of Imperfection. ‘A practical and insightful guide to courageous leadership’ Sheryl Sandberg, former Facebook COO and bestselling author of Lean In ‘The ultimate playbook for daring leadership’ Scott Harrison, founder and CEO of Charity: Water Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas, and look to develop that potential. Brené Brown spent the past two decades researching the emotions that give meaning to our lives. She has found that leaders in organisations ranging from small entrepreneurial start-ups and family-owned businesses to non-profits, civic organisations and Fortune 50 companies, are all asking the same questions: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders? And, how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? Dare to Lead answers these questions, giving us actionable strategies and real examples from her new research-based, courage-building programme. This inspiring book shows us that, 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.
