Over the past six years, Brené Brown, along with a global community of
coaches and facilitators, has taken more than 150,000 leaders in 45
countries through her Dare to Lead courage-building work. In Strong
Ground, Brown shares the lessons from these experiences along with
wisdom from other thinkers. This is a vital playbook for everyone from
senior leaders developing and executing complex strategies to Gen Z-ers
entering and navigating turbulent work environments. It is also an
unflinching assessment of what happens when we continue to perpetuate
the falsehood that performance and wholeheartedness are mutually
exclusive.
With equal amounts of optimism and caution about AI, Brown writes, 'I
hear a lot of experts trying to soothe people’s anxiety about the pace
of technological change by offering platitudes like, What makes us
human will ensure our relevance. This is dangerous simply because,
right now, we’re not especially good at what makes us human. We’re not
hardwired for this level of uncertainty, and many of us feel as if the
constant need to self-protect is driving the humanity right out of us.
This is why organisational transformation today must foster deep
connection, deep thinking and deep collaboration. We need the courage
to lead people in a way that honours and protects the wisdom of the
human spirit.'
Brown offers a broad assessment of the skill sets and mindsets we need
moving forward, including the capacity for respectful and difficult
conversations, increased productive urgency and smart prioritisation
rather than reactivity, strategic risk-taking, paradoxical thinking and
situational and anticipatory awareness skills. She identifies the
toughest skill set as the discipline, humility and confidence to
unlearn and relearn.
Brown writes, 'Individuals and organisations are building new muscles.
Finding our strong ground ― that athletic stance ― is the only thing
that can provide both unwavering stability in a maelstrom of
uncertainty and a platform for the fast, explosive change that the
world is demanding.'
