领导不全然只是名片上的称谓，更不是职等或地位的差异。领导的展现在于自身的负责与慧眼独具的能力，可以看出人们潜在的可能想法与未来的发展性。而我们培养这些技能的关键，在于勇气的建立。这次作者把领导力聚焦于勇气本身。

勇气的建立其实很简单，大体可分为四个方向、总计二十八个行为习惯，透过练习便可以逐步掌握，破除心态上的懦弱。但这一切困难的地方，在于迈出改变的di一步——但别怕，作者已经打算手把手地传授给读者。

《脆弱的力量》的作者布琳·布朗（BrenéBrown）建立一套完整的思路步骤，带领读者练习跨出舒适圈，迎向勇敢的选择。作者花了超过二十年的时间，深耕情绪研究领域，出版《勇气的力量》与《我已经够好了》，均受到读者喜爱；致力于传授面对脆弱与把握勇气的技巧，归纳出一系列实用的方法，供读者参考。

In her #1 NYT bestsellers, Brené Brown taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead.

Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas, and developing that potential. This is a book for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead.

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 and work to align authority and accountability. We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into the vulnerability that’s necessary to do good work.

But daring leadership in a culture that's defined by scarcity, fear and uncertainty requires building courage skills, which are uniquely human. The irony is that we're choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the same time we're scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines can't do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection and courage to start.

Brené Brown spent the past two decades researching the emotions that give meaning to our lives. Over the past seven years, she 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 asking the same questions:

How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders? And, how do you embed the value of courage in your culture?

Dare to Lead answers these questions and gives us actionable strategies and real examples from her new research-based, courage-building programme.

Brené writes, ‘One of the most important findings of my career is that courage can be taught, developed and measured. Courage is a collection of four skill sets supported by twenty-eight behaviours. All it requires is a commitment to doing bold work, having tough conversations and showing up with our whole hearts. Easy? No. Choosing courage over comfort is not easy. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and work. It's why we're here.’
