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.
