Dare to Lead

Cassandra Tang

Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas, and developing that potential.

There is nothing more uncertain than the creative process, and there is absolutely no innovation without failure.

It’s not what you do, it’s why you do it that makes the difference.

Own the story and you get to write the ending. Deny the story and it owns you.

“if you don’t understand how shame can unravel connection in a split second, you don’t really get connection. I didn’t set out to study vulnerability; it just happens to be the big barrier to almost everything we want from our lives, especially courage. As Marcus Aurelius taught us, “What stands in the way becomes the way.”

“A rumble is a discussion, conversation, or meeting defined by a commitment to lean into vulnerability, to stay curious and generous, to stick with the messy middle of problem identification and solving, to take a break and circle back when necessary, to be fearless in owning our parts, and, as psychologist Harriet Lerner teaches, to listen with the same passion with which we want to be heard. More than anything else, when someone says, “Let’s rumble,” it cues me to show up with an open heart and mind so we can serve the work and each other, not our egos.”

“Our ability to be daring leaders will never be greater than our capacity for vulnerability.”

“the moment the universe put the Roosevelt quote in front of me, three lessons came into sharp focus. The first one is what I call “the physics of vulnerability.” It’s pretty simple: If we are brave enough often enough, we will fall. Daring is not saying “I’m willing to risk failure.” Daring is saying “I know I will eventually fail, and I’m still all in.” I’ve never met a brave person who hasn’t known disappointment, failure, even heartbreak”

I need to tell this to my friend who is afraid to take the risk of the more fun job.
