BOM - Dare to Lead by Brene Brown

Victor Menasce
About this episode

Brené Brown, renowned for her research on vulnerability, courage, and empathy, delves into the heart of leadership in her book "Dare to Lead." In this captivating and insightful read, Brown explores the intersection of vulnerability and leadership, offering a refreshing perspective on what it means to be a daring and effective leader. Brene Brown is someone who I’ve been following for years. Her work on the emotions that drive behaviour has been groundbreaking. I would describe her work as being in the shadows, in involving topics that are rarely discussed in the context of leadership. At the core of this is shame. Leaders are just people and people often grapple with shame at their imperfections.
