Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"Staying Alive Through The Dangers Of Leading". Book News Annotation:Heifetz and Linsky (both John F. Kennedy School of Government,
Harvard U.) discuss how to survive and thrive on the dangers of
leadership. They address leadership at all levels, from parents to
everyday workers, managers and community activists, presidents of
organizations and of countries. They examine why and how leadership
is dangerous, how that danger drives some people "out of the game,"
possible strategies to reduce the risk of getting pushed aside, ways
that people contribute to their own demise, ways to manage personal
vulnerabilities, and how to keep one's spirit alive in the face of
adversity. This text takes a more personal and practical approach to
expand on ideas raised in Heifetz's earlier book, Leadership
Without Easy Answers.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:A survival manual for leaders that explains what they need to know to survive the professional and personal perils of leading, and how to exercise leadership in a way that reduces the chances of getting pushed aside. Synopsis:To lead is to live dangerously. It's romantic and exciting to think of leadership as all inspiration, decisive action, and rich rewards, but leading requires taking risks that can jeopardize your career and your personal life. It requires putting yourself on the line, disturbing the status quo, and surfacing hidden conflict. And when people resist and push back, there's a strong temptation to play it safe. Those who choose to lead plunge in, take the risks, and sometimes get burned. But it doesn't have to be that way say renowned leadership authorities Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky. In Leadership on the Line, they show how it's possible to make a difference without getting "taken out" or pushed aside. They present everyday tools that give equal weight to the dangerous work of leading change and the critical importance of personal survival. Through vivid stories from all walks of life, the authors present straightforward strategies for navigating the perilous straits of leadership. Whether parent or politician, CEO or community activist, this practical book shows how you can exercise leadership and survive and thrive to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
