'Leading on the Edge is a call to your soul. It challenges you to ask a most fundamental question, one that has guided me most of my life, "What must I be about in this life, to live the life I came here to live, and not someone else's life?" This book is about saying yes to how life wants to live you. It is about the boldness, courage and audacity required to live and lead at the edge of this most fundamental question. It asks you to wake up to how you are aching to serve and get about it- come what may. There is no safe way to do this. It requires leading at the edge. That's the deal.' -Bob Anderson, Founder Leadership Circle, Co-Author Mastering Leadership and Scaling Leadership 'Leading on the Edge goes beyond leadership theory. It is a call to action for those who dare to lead with purpose and conviction. Zana's insights remind us that true leadership is about creating a legacy by embracing uncertainty and inspiring those around us to do the same. This book challenges us to think differently, to engage meaningfully and to leave a positive impact on the world. With Leading on the Edge, Zana does what she does best, she inspires us to lead and live with Boldness.' -Bruno Casadinho, Managing Director and Executive Vice President at Capgemini Engineering Asia Pacific and Middle East 'Leading on the Edge is a transformative guide that asks provocative questions, challenges conventional leadership paradigms and inspires bold action. As a former Partner at PwC and now a leadership coach, I appreciate the book's compelling blend of personal narrative and actionable insights through reflective Mirroring Moments, urging leaders to get real, to care and to embrace discomfort as a catalyst for growth. 'Zana Goic Petricevic's powerful message of claiming one's arena and start leading on the edge resonates deeply, making this a must- read for anyone committed to meaningful change.' -Guenter Westphal, CEO of Moving Mountains and former PwC Senior Partner 'Leading on the Edge is a masterclass in what it means to embrace the uncomfortable truth of our time: growth, resilience and bold leadership are born where safety ends. Zana Goic Petricevic challenges us to rethink our relationship with fear, inviting us to sit with its discomfort long enough to find strength and possibility. 'Her work resonates deeply with the human experience, weaving together neuroscience, emotional intelligence and real- life reflections. Zana reminds us that leadership is not reserved for the extraordinary - it is for those brave enough to be fully human, to fail, to learn, and to lead forward anyway. 'This book does more than inspire; it sparks the realisation that we are already equipped to create change, in ways both small and seismic. It's an essential companion for anyone daring to step into their purpose.' -Mirjam Johansson, Leadership Coach, Organisational Consultant and CEO of DevelUpment AB 'If you need someone to hold up the mirror, ask soul- searching questions, hold your hand and heart with compassion, offer understanding and give you permission to be YOU- capital letters, bold and brave- the kind of YOU that fills you with pride, then take this book, immerse yourself and let Leading on the Edge lead you to those places.' -Ana Gongola, Sandoz/Country Head Croatia and Slovenia Commercial Operations 'This book serves as both an inspiration and a guide for making meaningful contributions while fostering personal growth. Initially, it advocates for living with passion, courage and authenticity, encouraging readers to lead boldly in areas they care about deeply. Subsequently, it provides a clear and concrete roadmap to achieve these goals. The content is both pragmatic and uplifting, offering advice derived from practical experience and supported by numerous case studies.' -Shail Jain, CEO, FARRAGUT 'In a world where disruption and uncertainty are the new normal, we face a choice: accept the status quo or take action. If you're among the few who choose to step forward, you have the opportunity to achieve something truly transformative for yourself and others. Having worked with Zana on this book and her first, I've seen firsthand how she truly walks her talk. Her insights and experience shine through in Leading on the Edge, offering space for reflection, tools for exploration and practical guidance to help you live and lead boldly, leaving doubt and fear behind.' -Karen Williams, The Book Mentor, Librotas
