About this title

Synopsis

What prevents us from being fully ourselves at work, from growing, from having fun while bringing value? Why do we wear masks and play roles, thereby reinforcing the very stereotypes that stifle our humanity at work? Why don’t companies allow people autonomy, mutual respect, and the development of their talents and inclinations? What undermines the connection between business case and fairness case, between what is convenient and what is moral? These questions guide the author’s account of a significant part of her “recipe for life.” She emphasizes the importance of an experience that taught her to stop making excuses, to seek people capable of sharing an idea and a direction, and to overcome a culture of control in order to affirm one of autonomy. All while keeping an eye on an increasingly present market that continually reshapes organizations. Authentic, essential, rough, this book invites you to take the initiative by modeling the present on the concept of “braveship”: a mix of courage, responsibility and autonomy, rigor and creativity that makes audacity overflow beyond “simple” leadership.
