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.

An eye-opener for any current or future Leaders

The concepts Brené speaks about have really helped me to navigate a move into a leadership role. The story is told very naturally and honestly through her own experiences, and narrating it herself really added to the impact of this audiobook. highly recommend to anyone trying to navigate their own career and help others do the same.

Wish there was a pdf - difficult to follow without

Good practical guide, wish there was a pdf to go with the audio version. Difficult to follow without visual aids at times e.g. when comparing Daring leadership vs traditional leadership etc.
