Dare to Lead: Brave Work, Tough Conversations, Whole Hearts
By Brené Brown
Random House, 2018, Nonfiction, 289 p.
Ms Brown has written a number of books and has done several TED Talks about the power of vulnerability and courage in interpersonal relationships.  In this book she applies many of her well known ideas to the task of leadership, specifically business leadership.  She talks about how to establish trust, increase creativity, set reasonable boundaries, and change hostile working situations into productive teams by embracing a few leadership principles.  Her ideas are all based on extensive research and she includes many good case studies in the book.  Her language is informal and engaging and she suggests useful acronyms to help readers remember key principles. This is a great choice for anyone hoping to up their game in their role as a leader or who are just looking for insight on how to improve their personal relationships.
