Personal Growth & LeadershipPsychology & Mind

Leadership can look like a matter of personality or rank. Brené Brown's argument is that it's a set of skills you can learn, grounded in vulnerability, empathy and trust, and she builds it from interviews with leaders at startups, family businesses, nonprofits and Fortune 50 companies.

Core ideas
  • Teachable behaviors: Four skill sets sit behind courageous leadership, built from 28 behaviors Brown calls teachable, observable and measurable.
  • Curiosity over answers: Stay curious and ask good questions instead of pretending to have the answers, because power grows when you share it rather than hoard it.
  • What machines can't do: Empathy, connection and courage are human capacities no machine replaces, and worksheets and exercises carry her shame resilience work into the workplace.
