This definition recognizes that everyone in an organization can provide leadership, and that leadership can involve developing and nurturing tooling, technologies, procedures, source code, documentation, relationships, and culture, in addition to people.Ī value is a way of being or believing that we hold important. I define a leader as anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential. In Dare to Lead, Brené defines leadership broadly, without any association to role, title, seniority, or relationship: It is often used to evoke a caricature of leadership-cunning, bravado, strength, decisiveness, certainty-a caricature that is missing the depth, connection, purpose, authenticity, relatedness, and understanding of true leadership. ![]() ![]() The word leadership makes me uncomfortable.
