I am hooked on Heifetz. There isn't a ton of "new" stuff in this volume. So it isn't among my favorite(s) of his "adaptive L'ship trilogy." Still, this is a useful--more practical--volume for those who'd like to refresh themselves on these principles and their practical application.

Good treatment on the leadership practices needed for managing and leading organizational change. Best quote, "stay focused n developing distributed responsibility...adaptive leadership generates capacity, not dependency" (p. 214).

Great so far!
I think I was looking for more of an update and deeper dive into the content of "Leadership On the Line." instead it felt like they pulled back from the core of the individual in the larger system and lost the attention to purpose and values or and their quality of analysis. Less from the heart and the gut, more from the head. Still quite useful though.
There's a little more content to this book than some books about the nature of effective leadership. The main premise is that a leader needs to stay committed to her mission of doing what is right for the organization while, at the same time, navigating flexibly based on ever-changing circumstances.
This has been my lunchtime reading over the last several months. Excellent, excellent stuff. I will refer back to this as I wade into leading our organization through times of change.
