"An incisive and insightful study of what the press does to government―not the old press, but the new press, and television. This is one of those unusual books scholars and public officials alike had better read if they want their work to make contemporary sense." ―James David Barber, James B. Duke Professor of Political Science and Policy Studies, Duke University
"Every public officials and every reporter should read this important book. It is a detailed look at the critical ways in which the press influences the shaping of vital public policy. People in the government will now understand that they cannot do their jobs without the press, and the reporters who cover them will now understand that they, too, are participants rather than observers in the world of public affairs." ―Elliot L. Richardson
"A meaty and reflective analysis of the much-misunderstood and much-abused relationship between government and the press that, for good or ill, will largely determine the effectiveness in policymaking of the American system throughout the foreseeable future." ―James R. Schlesinger, former Secretary of Defense
"There is no more important relationship in public policymaking than that between the press and government. This book is an important and interesting contribution to the literature." ―Leslie H. Gelb, national security correspondent, New York Times

Named one of 100 Leadership &amp; Success Books to Read in a Lifetime by Amazon Editors 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.
