| Abstract: | The Himalayas are one of nature's most demanding classrooms, but they can teach us important principles about taking charge of our followers - and our own egos. In this article, the author recounts the experiences of MBA graduates and midcareer executives who took part in a leadership program on the lower slopes of Mount Everest. Conceived to heighten participants' appreciation of what leadership is all about, the program transforms abstract concepts into practice: Not only do people learn from the historical expeditions of others, they also gain insights from their own unfolding experiences. Through compelling stories of the trekkers' triumphs and miscalculations, the author sheds new light on several central management principles. |
