Dare to Lead

Dare to Lead treats courage as part of the manager's job. Brown connects it to clear feedback, honest limits, and the talks people avoid because they may get uncomfortable. I like the book because kindness without truth usually creates a larger problem later. Owners need people who can speak plainly and still respect each other. That kind of team handles change better and does not send every conflict to the founder. A buyer will see the difference between a healthy culture and a polite silence.
