Brown provides actionable strategies, tools, and stories that guide leaders in cultivating these skills within themselves and their teams, aiming to create workplaces where innovation, trust, and collaboration flourish. This book is a call to arms for leaders to foster a culture of transparency, trust, and accountability, challenging them to embrace vulnerability as a strength rather than a weakness, and to lead with whole hearts.
