How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders? And how do you embed the value of courage in your culture?

Written and read by NYT best seller Brené Brown, Dare to Lead answers these questions and gives us actionable strategies and real examples from her new research-based, courage-building programme.

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 an audiobook 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 that’s 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.

Life Changing

Reviewed in Australia on 18 December 2018

Every now and then we find a book that changes the way we think and then our lives.

Dare to Lead is such a book for me.

Even whilst still reading it I started putting what I was learning into practice. Allowing to become more vulnerable. Openly owning the stories that occur in my head, particularly around my former partner and co-parent.

Learning about my two core values was a fascinating experience of self understanding. I am starting to look for more opportunities to live by and express my values everyday.

Whilst I am still working on being more vulnerable, brave and afraid, I know that curiosity and open mindedness are my friends.

Finally, thanks to Dr Brené Brown, I believe it when I say I am enough, I am worthy. More important than believing that I am enough, I know that I am enough. I know it like I know the sun rises in the east.

Thank you.

Good lessons for your leadership journey

Reviewed in Australia on 18 November 2019

I’ve not read any Brene Brown before, this was my first foray into her writings. When I mentioned I was reading this book to friends and colleagues, I was surprised how many had heard of her (and in many cases, she had been recommended reading).

I do find her examples and stories very American. I think there are some workplace practices she references that are more common to American workplaces. However, overall I got a lot out of this book.

I think as a leader it’s important to be well read, to explore a number of different theories and practices and find what works for you. I may not adopt everything Browne recommends but there are certainly some lessons in here I’ve already tested out!

This lady and her message has changed my life. She has pivoted her work on understanding yourself and how to turn up in any situation to the realm of leadership. A valuable book and great insight into the seemingly contradictory terms of courage and vulnerability when it comes to leadership.

Essential Reading for Any Leader (Review from: AntonySimpson.com)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2019

I first discovered Brené Brown when I saw her TED talk titled The Power of Vulnerability. Which Brown followed up with a TED Talk, Listening to Shame.

So when I started on a leadership course at work, I decided to buy Dare To Lead by Brené Brown.
Dare To Lead is about leadership that is vulnerable, values-based, trusting and resilient. The book is split into four parts.

The first and biggest part is Rumbling with Vulnerability. In this section Brown discusses what vulnerability is, why it is important, myths about vulnerability, using courage to drop our armor as leaders, dealing with shame and empathy and curiosity grounded in confidence.

The second part is Living Into Our Values. Values are very important to me, so unsurprisingly this was my favorite part of the book. This section covers what our own values are, what organisational values can be and how to turn values into measurable behaviours. The List of Values activity I completed with some of my colleagues at work and I found it an incredibly useful in terms of learning more about them and what they value. Since I have also contributed to a consultation at work around our organisational values.

The third part of the book is Braving Trust. This section of the book is all about building trust as a leader and recognising how trust is built up gradually over time and can be easily lost.

The fourth part of the book is Learning to Rise which is all about resilience. This part of the book is about recognising emotion within ourselves and others as a leader, being curious about emotions and being self-aware enough to recognise what is going on emotionally for ourselves and others.

Throughout Dare To Lead are many helpful strategies that if implemented would make you a better leader. Including strategies around: having difficult conversations, increasing self-awareness, being aware of the values of ourselves and of the people we lead, being aware of the stories we tell ourselves (that may or may not be true), how to build trust and courage in the people that you lead.

Dare To Lead is written in a way that feels like you’re having a conversation with Brown. She gives examples from her own experience and also asks open questions styled in a coaching method to encourage the reader to think about how these experiences relate to their own life.

About Brené Brown

There is a world outside the USA

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2019

It is a good book and it improves as you go through it. However, the author, who is a professor, ought to realise that the use of gutter language, which might be acceptable in the USA, does not enhance her book and limits the book's saleability in other markets. For someone of her level, it is disappointing in that respect.

Daring, Courageous Leadership book that every leader should carefully consider

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 October 2018

Verified Purchase

I found this book the most powerful of all the Brene Brown books I have read. It highlighted the amazing opportunity we all have to create joy and fairness in our workspaces and our relationships. Brené’s words in the last chapter. ‘The Revolution - I am not afraid of the word revolution. I am afraid of a world that’s becoming less courageous and authentic.’ ‘Own the story and you get to write the ending. Deny the story and it owns you.’ I am certainly going to try as hard as I can to own mine. It’s our one shot. Thanks Brené for having the courage to share and lead the way.

Showing up when you can't control the outcome

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2019

Verified Purchase

Brene's research has led her to some very helpful insights about leadership, courage and vulnerability. There are some gems in this book although there is a bit too much recipe type solutions for my liking (hence 4 rather 5 stars). Many of her readers want simple to follow actions to implement the ideas; my view is that courage in leadership is a mindset rather than a list of actions/ behaviours.

The best Brene book I've read. Packed full with practical wisdom that you can start applying to your life and team straight away. This is a book for anyone that wants to become a better friend, colleague and manager. The best book on leadership and influencing culture that I've read. One of the few books I've read that I want to buy multiple copies to give away to others!
