#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead.Look for Brené Brown’s new podcast, Dare to Lead, as well as her ongoing podcast Unlocking Us!NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BLOOMBERG Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential. 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. But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we’re choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we’re scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can’t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start. Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question:  How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture?  In this new book, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BS style that millions of readers have come to expect and love. Brown writes, “One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It’s learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It’s why we’re here.”Whether you’ve read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you’re new to Brené Brown’s work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.

In her groundbreaking book, "Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.", Brené Brown challenges us to rethink the way we lead. She argues that true leadership is not about power or control, but about courage, vulnerability, and empathy. Drawing on years of research and her own personal experiences, Brown shows us how to cultivate these qualities in ourselves and our teams, creating workplaces where people can thrive and innovation can flourish.

Brown begins by exploring the power of vulnerability. She argues that vulnerability is not about weakness, but about strength and courage. When we are vulnerable, we open ourselves up to the possibility of being hurt, but we also open ourselves up to the possibility of connection and growth. Brown shows us how to embrace our vulnerability and use it to build stronger relationships, both personally and professionally.

Next, Brown tackles the topic of tough conversations. She argues that tough conversations are not something to be avoided, but rather something to be embraced. When we have tough conversations, we are able to address problems head-on, clear the air, and move forward. Brown provides practical tools and strategies for having tough conversations in a way that is productive and respectful.

Finally, Brown discusses the importance of wholehearted leadership. She argues that wholehearted leaders are those who are able to lead with their whole hearts, both their strengths and their weaknesses. They are able to connect with others on a deep level and inspire them to be their best selves. Brown shows us how to become wholehearted leaders and create workplaces where people can thrive.

"Dare to Lead" is a must-read for anyone who wants to be a more effective leader. Brown's insights are powerful and inspiring, and her practical advice can help you to create a workplace where people can thrive.
