Summary
In her #1 New York Times bestsellers， Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly， rise strong， and brave the wilderness。 Now， based on new research conducted with leaders， change makers， and culture shifters， she's showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead。
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 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 with others。 We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it's 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 we're choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we're scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can't do better and faster。 What can we do better？ Empathy， connection， and courage， to start。
Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené 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 skills and practices that are 100 percent teachable。 It's 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。 It's why we're here。"
Whether you've read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you're new to Brené Brown's work， this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership。

Brene' covers topics that are often not discussed in leadership。 She keeps it real， open and honest。 This book really made me access and think about who I am as a leader of my business， my home and my life。 So many of this skills can and should be applied to all areas of life。 I will probably read this again， because their is a lot of information to digest。 Brene' covers topics that are often not discussed in leadership。 She keeps it real， open and honest。 This book really made me access and think about who I am as a leader of my business， my home and my life。 So many of this skills can and should be applied to all areas of life。 I will probably read this again， because their is a lot of information to digest。 。。。more

I usually don't read these kid of books， but I had to for school。 This was a very inspirational book and really helped me reflect on myself as a friend， daughter， sister， and future social worker。 I recommend reading this if you are in any capacity responsible for leading a group of people。 I usually don't read these kid of books， but I had to for school。 This was a very inspirational book and really helped me reflect on myself as a friend， daughter， sister， and future social worker。 I recommend reading this if you are in any capacity responsible for leading a group of people。 。。。more

I enjoyed this book though I will probably never be in the position to apply the techniques in the workplace。 If you are not a leader or manager you are probably better going with one of Brené’s other titles。

This book is a mix of all Brene’s other books put together in a corporate world setting。 I was a little disappointed with it。 I was hoping this book would be more about generic leadership， but it was strongly geared towards leadership in the business world。 I am currently a stay-at-home mom， so I had a hard time applying these concepts to myself。 Obviously， these tools can be applied in other situations， I just found it difficult to do that。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I had to read this for work。 I’d probably give it more stores if I didn’t spend a few years in therapy learning about how to process emotions and learn about how I tick。 It was a good reminder of values both at home and in the workplace。 I definitely can see this being beneficial for some industries but feeling pretty fortunate that the creative world I’m in is pretty in touch with collaborating and transparent regarding feelings， feedback， and colleague relationships/communication。

As I embark on a career change I am so glad I found this book。 I plan on re-reading it so all this great advice really sticks！ This is a recommend worthy non-fiction。 Brené is so data driven and well written that it appeals to a lot of different people。 I look forward to putting some of these tips into action and becoming a stronger leader。

Great ideas and real life situations， but I was a bit lost with a very talkative style which， as a non native-speaker maybe， was harder to follow。 A bit long because of this。

book in brief - A leader is who takes responsibility for finding potentials in people and process and who have courage to develop potentials。 Courage is collection of 4 skills set that can be learned， observed and measured – Rumbling with vulnerability， living into our values， braving trust， learning to rise。 A leader should be brave enough to be failed and criticized。 A true leader grows through vulnerability。 Instead of showing ego， a true leader shows empathy and connection with people。 Witho book in brief - A leader is who takes responsibility for finding potentials in people and process and who have courage to develop potentials。 Courage is collection of 4 skills set that can be learned， observed and measured – Rumbling with vulnerability， living into our values， braving trust， learning to rise。 A leader should be brave enough to be failed and criticized。 A true leader grows through vulnerability。 Instead of showing ego， a true leader shows empathy and connection with people。 Without vulnerability， there is no creativity or innovation。 A leader should face vulnerability to learn。 Ego， fear and shame stop a leader to show vulnerability。 We should recognize our ego， fear and shame， understand its trigger and see the big picture and causes behind them。 Ask yourself – What are two most important values for you （from this list of values ）？ What are your 3 behaviour that support your values？ What are your 3 actions you’re tempted to do that counter to your values？ Show empathy and never be silent about hard thing。 Receive feedback with braveness and see what works and what doesn’t。 To build trust， respect boundaries of person; don’t overpromise， do what you say; be accountable for your own mistakes and make amends; choose courage over comfort， choose what is right over what is fun， fast or easy; Ask person’s feeling or ask for help without showing any judgment – don’t judge – respect opposite views。 be kind， show respect and love。 To learn to rise， a leader should understand his emotions first， he should be aware when he is emotionally hooked。 He should slow down， take deep breath and should focus on facts and data。 In absence of data， our minds make up stories – ‘shitty first draft’- where fear and insecurities fill in the data gaps。 To move from this shitty first draft to real story requires questions the assumptions， asking more questions that can clarify situations， seeking additional data。 The gap between SFD and truth is where meaning and wisdom lie。_____________________________________________Dare to Try a free self-improvement experiment to change your life at upashu1。wordpress。com/fashion/ 。。。more

A good guide and full of insight into leadership。 It'd be great if she gave more insight into how to implement her ideas without systemic support。 A good guide and full of insight into leadership。 It'd be great if she gave more insight into how to implement her ideas without systemic support。 。。。more

I've heard a lot about Brene Brown and I've maybe seen one of her TED talks but this is the first book of hers that I read。 I really liked the information that was highlighted throughout the book。 I'm not necessarily a "leader" but I think I can still take many of the lessons Brown teaches into my work （I'm an elementary school librarian） as well as just my personal life。 Many of the lessons fit well for just living a happier life rather than only useful in the workplace。 Brown narrates the book I've heard a lot about Brene Brown and I've maybe seen one of her TED talks but this is the first book of hers that I read。 I really liked the information that was highlighted throughout the book。 I'm not necessarily a "leader" but I think I can still take many of the lessons Brown teaches into my work （I'm an elementary school librarian） as well as just my personal life。 Many of the lessons fit well for just living a happier life rather than only useful in the workplace。 Brown narrates the book， which is nice。 I do have to say that the last quarter dragged a bit for me。 I found myself zoning out a lot。 。。。more

I listened to the audiobook of this， which was narrated by BB。 This book was incredible。 A must read for anyone in a leadership position or looking to get there。 I can’t believe I’m just now discovering BB。 I can’t wait to get the hard copy of this and read it again， and read more of her books。 Some of my favorite quotes:- Daring leaders must be connected and care for the people they lead。- See you in the arena。 - Trust is built on little moments。 - Clear is kind。 Unclear is unkind。 - The cave y I listened to the audiobook of this， which was narrated by BB。 This book was incredible。 A must read for anyone in a leadership position or looking to get there。 I can’t believe I’m just now discovering BB。 I can’t wait to get the hard copy of this and read it again， and read more of her books。 Some of my favorite quotes:- Daring leaders must be connected and care for the people they lead。- See you in the arena。 - Trust is built on little moments。 - Clear is kind。 Unclear is unkind。 - The cave you fear to enter contains the treasure you seek。 - Any assumption of perfectionism in other peopleIs an empathic mess。- Talk to yourself the way you’d talk to someone you love。 。。。more

The second half of this book was better than the first。 But overall， her recipe was simply tossing in catchy phrases and buzzwords， renaming already known principles， some anecdotes， inspirational quotes， and bragging about her other books。 I wish the research and findings shined through more， and less “fluff”

I enjoyed reading this while completing the DTL workbook and having discussions with a resident on rotation with me。 However， there was A LOT packed into this book and the stories interwoven were very cheesy， in my opinion。 I am definitely taking some learnings from this， but that is mostly because of the workbook and discussions。

This was an awesome book for self-discovery in leadership。 Brown covers aspects of leadership from perspectives of CEOs， employees， those planning to move up the ladder， and more。 I appreciated the careful discussion on learning our own fears， vulnerabilities， and opportunities for bravery that preceded methods of addressing others。 Brown also makes an emphasis on the differences of experience in leadership and employment among marginalized communities。 It is clear that she has made time to foll This was an awesome book for self-discovery in leadership。 Brown covers aspects of leadership from perspectives of CEOs， employees， those planning to move up the ladder， and more。 I appreciated the careful discussion on learning our own fears， vulnerabilities， and opportunities for bravery that preceded methods of addressing others。 Brown also makes an emphasis on the differences of experience in leadership and employment among marginalized communities。 It is clear that she has made time to follow the work of Tarana Burke and her movement， #metoo。 The connection between Burke's work and genuine， whole hearted leadership gives me additional respect for Brene Brown。 I know I'm unlikely to be led down a narrow path of discovery based on the point of view of the dominant culture。 。。。more

Brene always has very insightful and interesting things to say about leadership and how we relate with others。 This one was a little corporate focused for my taste， but still worthwhile reading。 I did get a few good takeaways from this one。
