Daring Greatly by Brene Brown

Daring Greatly: How the Courage to be Vulnerable Transforms the Way we live, love, parent, and Lead. discusses how necessary it is for us to have the ability to be vulnerable. AT MASA there was a great presentation from the SI group about characteristics necessary to be a great superintendent [leader--note mine]. There was good discussion with the new superintendents about the need to be open and able to forgive.

Brown's book on the need to be vulnerable and to deal with shame explores the attiributes of shame resilience and openness. Her work is powerful. She also has a TED talk from Houston that talks about this issue in a 20 minute presentation that makes on engage, laugh, and reflect.

However, here are the book notes. Download Daring Greatly by Brene Brown
