About

Brené Brown's two decades of research on vulnerability, courage, and shame reshaped how organizations talk about leadership. Her work gave managers a vocabulary for the hard conversations most workplaces avoid, and a case for why avoiding them is expensive. Leaders use her frameworks to make candor and accountability coexist rather than compete.

Ideas they're known for

  • Vulnerability as the prerequisite for trust at work
  • Clear is kind: candor delivered with care
  • Courage taught as a set of practicable skills
