Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders? And how do you embed the value of courage in your culture?

Written and read by NYT best seller Brené Brown, Dare to Lead answers these questions and gives us actionable strategies and real examples from her new research-based, courage-building programme.

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 developing that potential. This is an audiobook for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead.

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 and work to align authority and accountability. We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into the vulnerability that's necessary to do good work.

But daring leadership in a culture that's defined by scarcity, fear and uncertainty requires building courage skills, which are uniquely human. The irony is that we're choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the same time we're scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines can't do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection and courage, to start.

Best one since Shame & Vulnerability. Superb!

Loved this book. Really powerful and useful tools to improve not just leadership skills but life skills and communication. Great content, easy to listen too and well explained skills. Comes with corresponding literature and worksheets which are available from the website. This is my favourite book since her original Shame and vulnerability. A must read! I prefer the listening versions as you hear Brene Brown reading it and it has more depth as her personality warm voice and personality shine through. I would recommend.

Great book but think you might need to listen 2 to 3 times

Brenè reads this brilliantly but there is a lot in the book. This isn’t a bad thing but think I will need to listen a couple of times more to be able to use all the tools in the book.

Another gold from Bréne Brown

What a wonderful book. Listening to the audio was great - Bréne has a great way of telling a story. So engaging.

A lot of lessons and insights. I’m going to buy the book as it will be one I pick up again and again.

Insightful reading

Useful, introspective, meaningful and full of jewels and pockets of wisdom.

The voice of Brené makes it even more impacting. I loved every chapter and I found myself revisiting them.

Excellent introduction!!

It’s all about timing- just discovered this book and the talent that is BB. I found this book informative, challenging and exciting- contains everything you need to lead- wish I’d found it earlier.

Brene is my role model

Bravely trying, stumbling sometimes, getting it right the other times is what I strive for.. Embrace vulnerability and daring greatly

Thought provoking, insightful and a reminder to stay true to your values

I love listening to Brene Brown - she brings her books to life with such passion and meaning and this is yet another example. Encouraged me to reflect on my own personal leadership and also that of those around me.
