Subject: stick your neck

Подскажите,как правильно перевести данное словосочетание.
Вероятно, это идиома, но что-то я ничего путного не придумаю никак;)
Заранее спасибо!

Вот контекст:
Do you want to stick your neck out fighting the battles and overcoming the obstacles that go with being a leader? What do we have to do to be effective around here?

stick one's neck out
Make oneself vulnerable, take a risk, as in I'm going to stick my neck out and ask for a raise. This expression probably alludes to a chicken extending its neck before being slaughtered. [Colloquial; early 1900s]
