CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwire - February 18, 2008) - Cambridge Leadership Associates (CLA), a
leading provider of leadership consulting services, announced today that
"Leadership on the Line: Staying Alive Through the Dangers of Leading," a
top-selling business book authored by CLA founders Ron Heifetz and Marty
Linsky, is now available in Braille.
Braille is a system of reading and writing using raised dots. It allows
people who are blind to read with their fingers. Steven Rothstein,
president of the Perkins School for the Blink in Watertown, MA, says, "This
is a valuable book with many important lessons in leadership. Having this
book in Braille will be a benefit for people who are visually impaired
across the country."
"Our communities, organizations, and societies need people, from wherever
they work and live, to take up the challenges of leadership," says Linsky.
"Leadership on the Line: Staying Alive Through the Dangers of Leading" (224
pages, Harvard Business School Press, $29.95) first published in 2002,
draws on the authors' combined half-century of experience of teaching and
consulting, first at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard
and later at Cambridge Leadership Associates.
Heifetz and Linsky have written the first personal survival guide for
individuals seeking to lead. They profess that leading is risky and
dangerous work. Exercising leadership is dangerous because you risk making
yourself vulnerable; whether you are supporting unpopular initiatives,
promoting provocative new ideas, questioning the gap between values and
behavior of your colleagues, or asking family and friends to face up to
unpleasant realities.
CLA develops leadership cultures for changing organizations. Through
consulting and training in the skills and behaviors of Adaptive
Leadership™, the firm works to expand and enhance the leadership that
organizations need to change and thrive in complex environments.
Professional services include leadership consulting, workshops, training,
and keynote presentations. Headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., the firm has
an extensive client list nationally and internationally.
