Every day, in every facet of our lives, opportunities to lead call out to us. At work and at home, in our local communities and in the global village, the chance to make a difference beckons. Yet often, we hesitate. For all its passion and promise, for all its excitement and rewards, leading is risky, dangerous work. Why?

The Single Greatest Literary Work of Our Time?
At least the authors should try to look a little impartial when reviewing their own work.
I guess after Harvard’s ethical flexibility re: Jack Welch – this kind of thing is tolertated.

Leadership on the line, a compelling text complete with touching personality and gripping emotional exploration, is a must buy for anyone involved in business – nay – anyone. Period. And let us not forget the wonderful introduction in which the authors graciously reveal the true genius behind their work…..their children.

Very useful advice on issues that involve a lack of leadership in the workplace, and in life, in general.

I was after a book on business leadership with serious analysis of what works backed up by case examples – this is NOT it.
This is a good book for new leaders – it tells all the things that can go wrong and how you can work your way through the maze of other people and other agendas.
Its definitely not a new “Make It Happen” (John Harvey Jones) which is what I wanted and expected.
It is heaps of sociology and everyday examples, not a guide to the insights that make people follow you through those long entrepreneurial days and nights of hard work, near zero pay and share options in the distant future. Leadership where constant danger lurks rather than “nice” ways to get people to come along with you.
Sorry but it is a nice book for nice leaders.
