Leadership isn’t about titles, status, or wielding power. A leader is someone who recognizes the potential in others and has the courage to help them develop their potential. When we dare to be leaders, we don’t pretend to know the right answers; we remain curious and ask the right question. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that the power becomes infinite when we give it away to others. We don’t shy away from difficult conversations and situations. Instead, we embrace them and use them to our advantage.

“Brené Brown has been studying human emotion for the past twenty years, and the past seven she’s been working with transformational leaders and teams across the world.”

The Book Guide® Editor

But daring leadership in an environment where scarcity, fear, and doubt are the norm requires skill building around traits that are deeply human. The irony is that while we’re trying to figure out what we need to offer that machines and artificial intelligence can’t do better and faster, we’re choosing not to invest in building leaders’ hearts and minds. What can we improve? Social abilities like empathy, connection, and courage, are a good starting point.

This is essentially a self-help book by wayof aa memoir. There’s a lot of good stuff in here. It’s always helpful to have a reminder to stop the negative thoughts about yourself—like that you’re a failure because you don’t have a boyfriend/the job you want/you aren’t working out or eating well enough and so on. For some of us, giving ourselves pep talks is not our natural state, but Tara reminds us: If your friend were in a similar situation, would you talk to her that way?

And yes, most of the time, I'm a happy person, and I show it. But like her, "Sometimes I feel lonely. Sometimes I feel like a fraud. Sometimes I feel like a failure. Sometimes I feel unaccomplished. But in reality, I am none of those things." She is average. And average is awesome - something I need to remember.

The Likeability Trap (2019)

This book explores likability as a proxy for unconscious bias and gender discrimination. It also offers constructive ways for women to reframe so-called feedback from others that focuses solely on style or presentation, and ways to change your mindset from one of likability to that of relatability. The bottom line: It calls for women to be confident, advocate for themselves, challenge stereotypes and bias, and not be afraid to walk away when their personal, ethical, or moral code is undermined.
