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.

My review of Dare to Lead

No rating

This book is something that I need to come back to. There are lots of challenges in here about how I need to dare to be vulnerable so that I can have access to those things which I am truly excellent at and offer them to others. The end of the book was also a huge uplift for me. Brene talks about resiliency and some of the habits and tendencies that make for resilient people. Several of the items are things I already do, and things that I have picked up from other sources that those she talked about. That's exciting to me. It's both a sign of my own skill, and also really interesting evidence for the many ways we can learn of, practice, and achieve resilience.
