In Strong Ground, Brené Brown returns with a timely and urgent call to reimagine leadership amidst deep uncertainty and rapid technological change.
Drawing on her “Dare to Lead” work with over 150,000 leaders globally, Brown argues that true stability doesn’t come from bluster or rigid certainty, but from “grounded confidence.”
She challenges the notion that performance and wholeheartedness are mutually exclusive, presenting a playbook for leaders to reclaim focus through connection, discipline, and accountability.
The book addresses the specific challenges of the modern era, including the anxiety surrounding AI and the increasing polarization of work environments.
Brown emphasizes the importance of “paradoxical thinking”, the ability to hold tension between opposing ideas, as a critical skill for navigating complexity.
By fostering deep collaboration and the courage to unlearn and relearn, she suggests that leaders can create a “strong ground” that serves as both a stabilizer and a launchpad for innovation.
Key Takeaways:
- “Strong ground” provides stability and a platform for explosive change.
- Paradoxical thinking is essential for navigating modern leadership challenges.
- Connection and human wisdom are vital in an AI-driven world.
