領導不全然只是名片上的稱謂，更不是職等或地位的差異。領導的展現在於自身的負責與慧眼獨具的能力，可以看出人們潛在的可能想法與未來的發展性。而我們培養這些技能的關鍵，在於勇氣的建立。這次作者把領導力聚焦於勇氣本身。

勇氣的建立其實很簡單，大體可分為四個方向、總計二十八個行為習慣，透過練習便可以逐步掌握，破除心態上的懦弱。但這一切困難的地方，在於邁出改變的第一步——但別怕，作者已經打算手把手地傳授給讀者。

《脆弱的力量》的作者布琳·布朗（Brené Brown）建立一套完整的思路步驟，帶領讀者練習跨出舒適圈，迎向勇敢的選擇。作者花了超過二十年的時間，深耕情緒研究領域，出版《勇氣的力量》與《我已經夠好了》，均受到讀者喜愛；致力於傳授面對脆弱與把握勇氣的技巧，歸納出一系列實用的方法，供讀者參考。

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.’
