Strong Ground is a New York Times bestselling leadership book by Brené Brown, published by Penguin Random House (Random House imprint) on September 23, 2025. The hardcover edition contains 448 pages and is also available as an ebook, audiobook, and large print edition.

In this urgent and practical guide, Brown draws on six years of Dare to Lead courage-building work conducted with more than 150,000 leaders across 45 countries. She delivers actionable insights into the mindsets and skill sets essential to courageous leadership—including the capacity for respectful and difficult conversations, productive urgency, smart prioritization, strategic risk-taking, paradoxical thinking, and situational and anticipatory awareness.

Brown addresses the intersection of leadership and AI with nuance, warning against platitudes that downplay human relevance, and arguing that organizational transformation must foster deep connection, deep thinking, and deep collaboration. She identifies the toughest skill set as the discipline, humility, and confidence to unlearn and relearn. The book is longlisted for the Porchlight Business Book Award.
