Dare to Lead
by Brené Brown
View on GoodreadsBrené Brown's 2018 application of her vulnerability and shame research to organizational leadership — built around interviews with executives about courage and the specific behaviors and competencies that translate the framework from individual to organizational practice.
Core ideas
- The four skill sets — Rumbling with Vulnerability, Living into Our Values, Braving Trust, Learning to Rise — are Brown's most operational framework, designed to be applied as named practices in named contexts.
- The "armored leadership" failure modes are catalogued specifically: knowing-and-being-right, hiding behind cynicism, ruinous empathy, leading from hurt — each named and contrasted with the "daring" alternative.
- The book reads as the executive-coaching translation of Brown's research — accessible for managers who don't read trauma literature, while remaining loyal to the framework's content.
