In a time when uncertainty runs deep and bluster, hubris\nand even cruelty are increasingly framed as acceptable leadership, Brown\ndelivers practical, actionable insights that illuminate the mindsets and skill\nsets essential to reclaiming focus and driving growth through connection,\ndiscipline and accountability.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOver the past six years, Brené Brown, along with a global community of coaches\nand facilitators, has taken more than 150,000 leaders in 45 countries through\nher Dare to Lead courage-building work. In \u003ci\u003eStrong Ground, \u003c\/i\u003eBrown\nshares the lessons from these experiences along with wisdom from other\nthinkers. This is a vital playbook for everyone from senior leaders developing\nand executing complex strategies to Gen Z-ers entering and navigating turbulent\nwork environments. It is also an unflinching assessment of what happens when we\ncontinue to perpetuate the falsehood that performance and wholeheartedness are\nmutually exclusive.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith equal amounts of optimism and caution about AI, Brown writes, 'I hear a\nlot of experts trying to soothe people’s anxiety about the pace of\ntechnological change by offering platitudes like, \u003ci\u003eWhat makes us human\nwill ensure our relevance.\u003c\/i\u003e This is dangerous simply because, right\nnow, we’re not especially good at what makes us human. We’re not hardwired for\nthis level of uncertainty, and many of us feel as if the constant need to\nself-protect is driving the humanity right out of us. This is why\norganisational transformation today must foster deep connection, deep thinking\nand deep collaboration. We need the courage to lead people in a way that\nhonours and protects the wisdom of the human spirit.'\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBrown offers a broad assessment of the skill sets and mindsets we need moving\nforward, including the capacity for respectful and difficult conversations,\nincreased productive urgency and smart prioritisation rather than reactivity,\nstrategic risk-taking, paradoxical thinking and situational and anticipatory\nawareness skills. She identifies the toughest skill set as the discipline,\nhumility and confidence to unlearn and relearn.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBrown writes, 'Individuals and organisations are building new muscles. Finding\nour strong ground ― that athletic stance ― is the only thing that can provide\nboth unwavering stability in a maelstrom of uncertainty \u003ci\u003eand \u003c\/i\u003ea\nplatform for the fast, explosive change that the world is demanding.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrené Brown \u003c\/b\u003eis a research professor at the\nUniversity of Houston, where she holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair\nat the Graduate College of Social Work.
