What is it that everyone believes will instantly give them the status and power they desire yet inspires so little interest for learning the good, bad and ugly lessons? Leadership." - Excerpt from Nicole's book.You can learn about leadership from academic theories, books, or from leadership consultants. However, the lessons that will drive all those theories home are the ones learned as you are applying them or observing others in the real world as a professional. Leadership is an influence. Without leadership, we cannot progress as a race. The first responsibility of a leader is to define the reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.

The dangerous work of leading change--somebody has to do it. Will you put yourself on the line? 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, disrupting 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 experts 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 you're a parent or a politician, a CEO or a community activist, this practical book shows how you can exercise leadership and survive and thrive to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
