Women in Chemicals book club pick for Q3 2024 will be “Dare to Lead”, written by Brené Brown.
When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work.
Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations all ask the same question: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? In Dare to Lead, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer this question. This book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.
We plan to spend 12 weeks diving into this book together. This will be the first of three one-hour virtual gatherings.
This will be accompanied along with a question of the week posted for discussion on the WIC Forum Board.
