Details Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781785042140 Publisher: Vermilion (Penguin Random House) Age Range: Adult Overview Dare to Lead is Brené Brown's essential guide to courageous leadership, distilling years of research into a practical playbook for anyone who wants to build braver, more daring teams and organisations. Brown argues that leadership isn't about titles or power, but about the willingness to have tough conversations, stay curious, and lean into discomfort. This paperback edition brings her signature blend of research and storytelling to leaders at every level, offering tools to transform how teams communicate, connect and grow. About the Book In Dare to Lead, Brené Brown draws on interviews and workshops with leaders across start-ups, family businesses, non-profits and Fortune 50 companies to answer one question: how do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders? Her answer is that daring leadership is a collection of skills that can be taught, observed and measured, not an innate trait reserved for the naturally confident. The book dismantles the idea that vulnerability is weakness, instead positioning it as the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change. Brown introduces frameworks for having difficult conversations, giving and receiving feedback, and rebuilding trust after setbacks, all grounded in her decades of academic research into shame, courage and connection. The book also tackles common workplace challenges such as perfectionism, blame, and the fear of failure, showing how these patterns quietly erode team performance and morale. Whether you're leading a small team or an entire organisation, Dare to Lead offers a roadmap for showing up authentically, having the courage to be uncomfortable, and building a culture where people feel safe to take risks and do their best work. It is a book for anyone ready to move past armour and into genuine, effective leadership.
