Dare to Lead By Brené Brown: Animated Summary

Today’s big idea comes from Brené Brown and her brave and honest book for leaders – Dare to Lead. The book has the subtitle ‘Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts’ and is, in its essence, an attempt to redefine good leadership.

Actually, I used Shortform when creating this video. Their summary of ‘Dare to Lead’ was Crystal-Clear and helped me pinpoint the book's essence.

With that said, let’s dig in.

See, Brown firmly believes that genuinely great leadership is not defined by status, power, or titles but by something else entirely. According to her, great leaders recognize potential, take responsibility, and are vulnerable, honest, and courageous. Great leaders do not pretend to have all the answers, and they never let their egos get the better of them.

Here is our take on the essential pieces of wisdom conveyed in the book

#1 Courage and vulnerability are absolutely essential characteristics is you want to be a great leader

#2 Values are the ideals we use as the guiding stars of our lives. They guide us and give us something to hold on to during dark and difficult times. Strong values push us to do what is right rather than what is easy.
#3 A great leader encourages potential in people and possesses the courage to guide this potential as it develops. One of the critical skills for doing this is the courage and ability to deliver honest and open feedback.

#4 Trust is an essential and multifaceted aspect of our working relationships.

#5 The ability to fail and recover from it is an essential skill for any great leader to possess. Fear of failure holds us back and stops us from achieving true greatness. It is, therefore, crucial to take off the armor of perfectionism and jump into the fray of life. Only this way will we truly gain the courage to succeed and lead.
We hope you will enjoy this video we will walk you through each piece of wisdom in greater detail.
