On the Edge is an engaging leadership manual that provides
concrete insights garnered from various extreme environments
ranging from Mt Everest to the South Pole. By reflecting on
the lessons learned from her various expeditions, author
Alison Levine makes the case that the leadership principles
that apply in extreme adventure sport also apply in today's
extreme business environments.
Both settings require you to
be able to make crucial decisions on the spot when the
conditions around you are far from perfect. Your survival
-and the survival of your team-depend on it. On the Edge
provides a framework to help people scale whatever big peaks
they aspire to climb-be they literal or figurative-by
offering practical, humorous, and often unorthodox advice
about how to grow as a leader.
