Bréne Brown, an absolute dynamo in progressive leadership highlights 3 key ideas from her research on Brave Leadership. 1. Face vulnerability dead in the face. Embrace Challenges Brave Leadership involves teachable skills: courage-building, living by values, trusting, and resilience. Vulnerability is foundational; without it, our capacity for daring leadership is limited 2. Knowing and valuing oneself are crucial. Our identity shapes our leadership. The main obstacle isn't fear itself but rather our response to it. Our protective "armor" — the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors we employ when avoiding vulnerability — leads us away from our values, erodes trust with others, and hinders us from displaying true courage. 3. Courage inspires more courage For leadership to thrive in teams and organizations, we must foster a culture where brave efforts, challenging discussions, and genuine commitment are the norm, without the need for defensive measures. It's crucial to consistently create an environment where individuals feel secure, acknowledged, listened to, and valued. ♻ Share to inspire #daringgreatly #inspiredleadership #growthmindset #courage #vulnerability #leadership
