4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser05/11/2021I've been hearing the Brene Brown…I've been hearing the Brene Brown hype for years and this is the first time I've dove into one of her leadership books. It was really eye opening - I rarely take notes or mark pages but there were multiple times when I had to stop to re-read something because it struck me, The concepts are great for organizational leadership and also personal growth. Strategies range from developing empathy to accepting feedback to passing over perfectionism can help improve anyone's lives. Extremely eye opening. Brown has lots of free printables (workbooks, motivational posters, etc) on her website and I look forward to digging into those as well. I definitely wouldn't mind reading her other work - she referenced them quite a lot in this one.ecataldi

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser09/05/2020I love audio books but his one would be better if I had the workbook and could go through it more thoughtfully. She can really challenge a person to brave honesty, and so live with more integrity and courage. The outcome is a greater impact on other peoples' lives.Unknown

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser07/08/2020Learning 'me' is the prerequisite for leading them - is the premise of this book. Handling vulnerability, dealing with fear, taming my ego, being non-judgmental are some virtues that are seen in a leader. Many parts of the book are backed by research and/or proven empirically through interviews with some successful leaders. I'm more conscious about giving feedback now. The pointers given in the book that one should remember while giving feedback make a lot of sense and put us in the other's shoes making us empathetic while doing so. I'm also becoming more aware of my breathing during tough/tense situations, but I know it's a long and winding path ahead of me to master that. "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." - so very true.nmarun

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser01/25/2020I often use slow times of the year to read psychologically oriented books that apply to my life. This Christmas, I picked up this book that deals with leadership and being up-front with emotions in the workplace. This book's author served in the military before getting a PhD in sociology. Her topic of interest is vulnerability as a leadership trait. The influx of women into the American workplace has changed workplace dynamics. This book – whose topic could not have even been conceived of fifty years ago – is further evidence of that. Top-down leadership is out while developing a flatter, healthier workplace environment is in. I think we, both men and women, owe a lot to those, like Brown, who are acting to change workplace environments. I appreciate Brown's emphasis on direct truth-speaking while she encourages us not to wander into “brutal” truth-speaking. She responsibly advises us to manage and express our emotions in a healthier way. In terms of values, she admonishes her readers to choose courage over comfort. These concepts apply to either gender, but it is hard to read Brown's words without considering the prism of gender. Feelings are human and not the sole possession of either men or women. However, their expression in social climates certainly tests one's competency in gender issues. While I seek to be a male who is in touch with his feelings, I cannot imagine this book being written by a male who is not a therapist. But that's a good thing. We need diverse voices to make our workplaces better. This book's greatest strength consists of taking away one's emotional “armor” (accrued through years of unhealthy work experiences) and endeavoring to make the reader more emotionally engaged. One can see Brown's expertise in the area of personal vulnerability. I'd like to hear more from Brown about how that influences social dynamics of a team – how vulnerability in a leader translates into team action and team results. Overall, I always find myself grateful for occasionally reading books of a self-help ilk. They keep me from voyaging too far off the right path. Brown's well-written book is no exception to this trend.Unknown
