Dare to Lead
by Brene Brown
Presented by: Angela White
“Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.” by Brené Brown is a compelling guide to courageous leadership that combines research, stories, and practical tools to help leaders cultivate more human-centric workplaces. Brown, a renowned researcher and storyteller, builds on her extensive work on vulnerability, shame, and empathy to demonstrate how these elements can transform leadership practices.
The book is based on the idea that leadership is not about titles or wielding power but about the willingness to step up, put yourself out there, and lean into courage. Brown argues that the future belongs to brave leaders who are not afraid to embrace vulnerability as a strength, rather than a weakness.
Key concepts of “Dare to Lead” include: Rumbling with Vulnerability, Living into Our Values, Braving Trust, and Learning to Rise.
Throughout the book, Brown incorporates exercises and prompts designed to help leaders develop these skills. She challenges the traditional notion of stoic leadership and argues that true leadership requires emotional investment and the courage to show up and be seen, even when there are no guarantees of success.
“Dare to Lead” is more than a simple leadership guide; it’s a call to arms for a new era of open, more emotionally intelligent leadership. Brown’s approach encourages leaders to transform their organizations by facing hard truths, engaging in meaningful conversation, and leading with their whole hearts. Her writing motivates not only seasoned executives but anyone who aspires to lead and make a difference, regardless of their position.
