"Brave" and "Bold": what is the difference?
US president told about Steve Jobs:
"Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it."
"Brave" and "Bold" here are used to express the same thing. Are there any differences in meaning or, may be, connotation?

"Brave" almost always means being willing to do something that is dangerous in some way; it means having no fear or doing something despite fear. "Bold" can have the same meaning. But "bold" also has meanings that do not involve danger or fearlessness, such as:
1. Bright color. Example: He painted his room in bold colors. This is the opposite of pale or soft colors.
2. Taking a big action instead of a small one. Example: The President announced a bold plan to improve the economy.
3. Not being shy or hesitant. Example: He walked up to the beautiful girl and boldly asked her to dance.

Here's a simple distinction off the top of my head - 'brave' is to do with courage/fearlessness, 'bold' to do with confidence/self-assurance. Does that help at all?

I like suki's answer. Mine would be something like
Brave; we can all be brave (in a team)
Bold; a leader (even just leader of a team of one) can be bold
