"Dare to Lead" By Brené Brown
Brené Brown's book, "Dare to Lead", explains how to develop the courage required to lead effectively. Brown argues that courage is not a personality trait, but a collection of skills that can be learned. These skills include rumbling with vulnerability, living into our values, braving trust, and learning to rise. Brown uses research and personal anecdotes to illustrate how vulnerability, not weakness, is the foundation for courage. She also explores how leaders can build healthy cultures by confronting shame and encouraging empathy, while avoiding the traps of armored leadership. Brown's work encourages readers to embrace the suck of vulnerability and step into the arena of leadership, where courage and confidence are cultivated.
