Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.

Why we chose this title

Leadership is not all about business.

Wether it be among our loved ones, friends or colleagues, we all encounter moments in life that require some sort of leadership.

We often look at people in powerful places and are made to believe that good leaders are supposed to take control and know what’s best for us.

What if it was actually about inspiring change, making space for individuality and trust each one’s ability to know what’s best?

How can we trust others if we don’t trust ourselves?

Leadership requires self awareness and self confidence.

Ultimately it reflects how we lead ourselves.

Book Summary

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.

In this 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.
