Don’t miss the five-part Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart!
ONE OF BLOOMBERG’S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR
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 Dare to Lead, 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 four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. 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.

Editorial Review
In Dare to Lead, bestselling writer Brené Brown shares what years of studying leadership look like. Having worked alongside leaders, change agents and thought leaders, Brown shows us that leadership has nothing to do with job titles, status or power. Those who dare to lead remain curious, empower others, and show up with courage and vulnerability. Action and engagement are not for the faint of heart. And cheap seat critics need not apply! As with all of her other Audible audiobook releases, Brené Brown is her own narrator. Her voice is focused, emphatic and real. Her tone feels like a one-on-one coaching session, served straight-up with her characteristic honesty and Texas twang. In asking how we cultivate courageous leaders, Brown’s research findings and personal stories tell us that such skills are “100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable”. This Audible audiobook is a call for all of us to grow and become brave leaders. For the past two decades, Brené Brown has conducted pioneering research into our deepest and most human traits – courage, shame, resilience, and the power of vulnerability. She has published five books, including Dare to Lead, all of which have been number-one New York Times bestsellers.
