"A prime resource for any leader's library."-James Mattis, General, US Marines (ret), and 26th Secretary of DefenseToday, 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 our nation was founded upon.

In Breaking Ice and Breaking Glass, Admiral Sandy Stosz draws upon her forty years of extensive experience and wisdom to provide tools that will help leaders reach their goals and succeed at every level. Character-centered, proven leadership principles emerge from these engaging, personal stories that teach leaders how to find, and then become, an inspiring mentor; implement successful diversity, inclusion, and equity programs; successfully lead in a complex environment; and much more. Leaders eager to make a difference by helping people and organizations be their best will find Breaking Ice and Breaking Glass: Leading in Uncharted Waters their go-to resource.
Customer Reviews
Once in a great while in hunting for whatever is enduring and worthy, we are fortunate to find a rare gem. Such a gem is this new book on character and leadership development, Breaking Ice and Breaking Glass, by Vice Admiral Sandra Stosz, U.S. Coast Guard (Retired).This superb find is rare not in its scarcity (there is no lack in the world of books on leadership). Rather, it is rare in its light, clarity, depth of color, and simple elegance. It shines in ways that others do not. Whatever slight imperfections it may have, as all gems do, the flaws add to its distinctive qualities, without diminishing its great value.This book is one woman's account of her ascent through the ranks of the U.S. Coast Guard, from Ensign to Vice Admiral, a remarkable accomplishment for anyone, male or female, made even more remarkable by the many firsts that she achieved by professional merit along the way. But it is more than that. It offers wisdom and understanding about what it means to develop leadership based on character -- wisdom derived from four decades of preparation, performance, and perseverance, recollected in thoughtful, cogent deliberation.It is a telling book intended for our time. If you value exceptional books on developing the qualities of good leadership, as I do, add this one to your collection. Don't pass it up.
