Strong Ground

The Lessons of Daring Leadership, the Tenacity of Paradox and the Wisdom of the Human Spirit





Unlock the transformative power of courageous leadership with the highly anticipated follow-up to Dare to Lead, from international bestselling author

The inspiring guide to cultivating courageous leadership in a world of uncertainty from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dare to Lead, Atlas of the Heart and Rising Strong.

Over the past six years, Brené Brown, along with coaches and facilitators certified in her work, has taken more than 150,000 leaders in forty-five countries through her Dare to Lead courage-building work.

In Strong Ground, Brené shares lessons from these experiences along with personal reflections, wisdom from other thinkers and teachers, and new research on what courageous and collaborative leadership looks like in times of growing instability, personal disconnection and the disorienting integration of AI technologies. In addition to being a handbook for everyone from senior leaders developing and executing complex strategies to Gen Zers entering and navigating turbulent work environments, this book offers an unflinching take on the consequences of not acknowledging our yearning for meaning in our lives and our work, and why mission-driven impact and wholeheartedness are not mutually exclusive.

Organisations that build and maintain strong ground do so by first respecting and protecting human wisdom and connection as foundational and the most reliable source of functional strength. Strong ground 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.
