She has found that leaders in organisations ranging from small entrepreneurial start-ups and family-owned businesses to non-profits, civic organisations and Fortune 50 companies, are all asking the same questions:<br><br><i>How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders?

We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work.<br><br><b>Written with Brown’s trademark mix of research, storytelling and honesty, <i>Dare to Lead</i> is a book for anyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead.</b><br><br>Praise for Brené Brown<br><br>‘Brené <b>empowers us</b> each to be a little more courageous’ <i>The Huffington Post</i><br><br>‘Brené <b>cuts through the noise</b> and speaks to what makes us human’ Brigadier General Brook J.
