Strong Ground

Strong Ground by Brené Brown is a powerful book on courageous leadership, offering practical and actionable insights to reclaim focus and drive growth through connection, discipline, and accountability. Building on over six years of Brown's work with more than 150,000 leaders globally via her Dare to Lead program, the book is a vital playbook for senior leaders developing complex strategies and for younger generations navigating turbulent work environments. Brown challenges the falsehood that performance and wholeheartedness cannot coexist and focuses on building new leadership muscles to provide stability amid uncertainty and enable fast, explosive change. It emphasizes key skill sets such as respectful difficult conversations, productive urgency, strategic risk-taking, paradoxical thinking, and the discipline to unlearn and relearn, all underpinned by the wisdom of the human spirit.
