FALMOUTH, Mass. - ColoradoDesk -- Leaders, do you feel like you're always under pressure—to manage yet another change, to make a tough decision, to do the right thing even if it's hard? If you answered "yes," your symptoms are normal, and Breaking Ice and Breaking Glass: Leading in Uncharted Waters is for you.

Today, our nation is like a ship being tossed in tumultuous seas. The winds and waves of change have divided and distanced our society, threatening to wash away the very principles upon which the United States was founded. Organizations need leaders with the moral courage to stand strong and steady—leaders capable of uniting people in support of a shared purpose by building the trust and respect necessary for organizations and their people to thrive.

"I want to help leaders achieve their full potential and make a positive impact on others and their organization," says Sandra Stosz, author of Breaking Ice and Breaking Glass. "This book is my way of giving back leadership lessons learned over 40 years serving with the US Coast Guard, including twelve years conducting operational missions at sea."
