Have you ever been led by someone who cared for you like family and dared you to achieve more
than you ever thought possible for yourself your organization and even society? Award-winning
author of Hostage at the Table George Kohlrieser along with his co-authors Susan Goldsworthy
and Duncan Coombe explain how becoming a secure base leader releases extraordinary potential
in others. Part of the Warren Bennis leadership series Care to Dare shows you how to become a
Secure Base Leader so that you release your followers from the fears that get in the way of
their performance. It shows you how you can unleash astonishing potential by building the trust
delivering the change and inspiring the focus that underpins sustainable high performance.
From extensive interviews with executives from all over the world as well as from surveys with
more than a thousand executives the book reveals the nine characteristics that Secure Base
Leaders display on a daily basis. The research shows that a primary difference between a
successful leader and a failed leader is the presence or absence of secure bases in his or her
life. Care to Dare will take you on a journey where you will discover your own secure bases
past and present and determine how you can be a secure base for other people in your life at
work and at home.
