description: In her #1 NYT bestsellers Bren Brown 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 shes showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. 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 a book 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 thats 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.Bren Brown spent the past two decades researching the emotions that give meaning to our lives. Over the past seven years she 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 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 and gives us actionable strategies and real examples from her new research-based courage-building programme.Bren writes One of the most important findings of my career is that courage can be taught developed and measured. Courage is a collection of four skill sets supported by twenty-eight behaviours. All it requires is a commitment to doing bold work having tough conversations and showing up with our whole hearts. Easy? No. Choosing courage over comfort is not easy. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and work. It's why we're here.
