511: The Brave Habit is Your Guide to Courageous Leadership with Todd Henry

Never has a guest appeared on the Read to Lead Podcast five times. In that the show is nearing its eleventh anniversary, though, the odds of that one day happening are increasing.

Todd Henry

In fact, that day is today, as Todd Henry indeed makes his fifth appearance on the podcast.

His new book is called The Brave Habit: A Guide to Courageous Leadership.

When your job requires you to solve problems, create things, or lead others through times of uncertainty, you have to make tough decisions when the stakes are high. Making the right call requires more than talent. It takes bravery.

Bravery, Todd says, is not reserved for the chosen few; it’s a skill and a daily practice that can be developed. And Todd’s book, The Brave Habit, provides a practical framework for courageous leadership and exceptional work.

We need you to lead. Will you choose to be brave?
