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 dont pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We dont see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We dont avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when its 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 were choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as were scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI cant do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start.
Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Bren 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. Its 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. Its why were here.
Whether youve read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or youre new to Bren Browns work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.

There are some helpful exercises in Dare to Lead—looking at you, values worksheet. I was able to glean a few useful things from this read that I believe will help me in my work. Then there are other moments that just feel too catchphrasey to take seriously (looking at you, “operationalizinator”). It’s decent, but there’s better motivational material out there. ( )

I gave this book to my partner as part of our Christmas Eve book exchange. A couple of months later, as he read a bit at a time, I jumped in to tandem read. Talk about material for some surprising and nourishing conversations. We've discussed living in our integrity, what courage looks like to each of us, named our values, and examined some of the stories we tell when life gets dark or scary.

Now, when either of us face a difficult dynamic at work or in other relationships we'll ask each other, What would Brené say? I'll pick up the book and starting reading the underlined passages we've each marked. And another opportunity to connect opens up.

If Brené Brown writes it, I'll read it. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
To my friend Charles Kiley. Who would have thought we’d go from waiting tables, to selling copies off my first, self-published book out of the extra room in your house, to working and leading together today? I couldn’t have done it without you.
