I have one deceptively and somewhat selfish goal for this book: I desperately want to share everything I've learnt with you..."

The author's opening statement is evidential of how much she wanted to share in the book 'Dare to Lead' . She confessed her desire to share all that she knows, all she had learnt in her years of research, her experience working and interviewing captains of industries and more than a hundred CEOs on the future of leadership program evaluation. What is remarkable is that she wanted the book to be one that can be read from cover to cover in a single flight and she made it so by writing in simple and clear terms.

Leadership is hard. Studying about it is simpler than actually leading. More than the research, interviews and studies, being a leader herself has taught her how hard and difficult it is to be a leader. To the writer, nothing is as difficult as leading, except maybe marriage and parenting. It is as though being in a class and learning the theoretical aspect of a subject. It's usually fun, depending on who is teaching, how and where the teaching is taking place, but the application and practicality of what is taught is usually a different story entirely. Which is to say, learning, when it comes to leadership is always easier. The difficult part is in the actual leading. And it goes without saying that it is the reason why many people find it hard to lead people.

The author admitted it in this book how hard it is to lead a person, especially when faced with major problems that requires critical thinking and problem solving. The courage and determination it takes to stay calm during immense pressure and the emotional pull required is what makes a leader a leader. Leadership, truly, is very difficult. It is therefore no brainer why people, or supposed leaders, run away from the responsibilities of leadership. Because it is easier to bear the title of a 'leader, ' than it is to lead people.

Let's dive in, shall we!
