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. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work. Written with Brown’s trademark mix of research, storytelling and honesty, Dare to Lead is a book for anyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead. Praise for Brené Brown ‘Brené empowers us each to be a little more courageous’ The Huffington Post ‘Brené cuts through the noise and speaks to what makes us human’ Brigadier General Brook J. Leonard, United States Air Force ‘Brené has profoundly inspired our product leaders to design in and embrace vulnerability, rather than engineer it out' Danielle Krettek, founder, Google Empathy Lab ‘The master of hope’ Metro
