What holds us back from being fully ourselves at work-from growing, enjoying ourselves, and creating real value? What pushes us to wear masks, play roles, and reinforce stereotypes that stifle the humanity of our working lives? What prevents organizations from making room for autonomy, respect, and the evolution of individual talents? What weakens the connection between the business case and the fairness case-between what makes sense and what is simply right? These are the questions the author explores, sharing her own "life formula"-not to impose truths, but to assert the value of lived experience. A call to give up excuses, seek out people capable of sharing a vision, and move beyond control toward autonomy, in a marketplace that constantly reshapes organizations. To nurture leadership and transform the company into a platform for mul-tiple-yet aligned-forms of entrepreneurship, grounded in a shared dream of open, inclusive innovation. Authentic, essential, and at times raw, this book calls us to shape the present through the "braveship" of its title: a blend of courage and healthy madness, responsibility and autonomy, discipline and creativity that lets boldness overflow far beyond "ordinary" leadership.
