Don’t miss the hour-long Netflix special, *Brené Brown: The Call to Courage!*
Named one of the best books of the year by Bloomberg.
Leadership isn’t about titles, status, or wielding power. A true leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas and has the courage to nurture that potential.
When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have all the answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t view power as limited and hoard it; we understand that power becomes limitless when shared with others. We don’t shy away from tough conversations and situations; we embrace vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work.
However, leading courageously in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires developing skills that are inherently human. Ironically, while we scramble to determine what we can offer that machines and AI can’t do better and faster, we’re neglecting to invest in the emotional and intellectual growth of our leaders. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start.
Over the past two decades, Brené Brown has studied the emotions and experiences that bring meaning to our lives. For the last seven years, she has worked with transformative leaders and teams worldwide. She discovered that leaders across various organizations—from small startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits and Fortune 50 companies—ask the same question:
How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage within your culture?
In this new audiobook, Brown combines research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in her straightforward style that millions have come to love. She states, “One of the most significant findings of my career is that daring leadership consists of four skill sets that are entirely teachable, observable, and measurable. It involves learning and unlearning, requiring brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Is it easy? No. Choosing courage over comfort isn’t always our instinct. Is it worth it? Always. We aspire to be brave in our lives and work. That’s why we’re here.”
Whether you’ve read *Daring Greatly* and *Rising Strong* or are new to Brené Brown’s work, this audiobook is for anyone ready to embrace brave leadership.
