On the Edge: The Art of High-Impact Leadership Description
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.

I know this is supposed to be a book about leadership lessons (and it does have some very interesting and insightful lessons), but what amazed me most, was that I couldn't put it down. I actually stayed up way too late to finish it. As someone who has never climbed a mountain or skied to either pole, I found Alison's stories gripping yet, surprisingly easy to relate to every day business issues and even challenges in life.

I love this book! It has everything, I laughed and learned and even cried tears of joy for her triumphs. Alison is a superstar and so loveable. I felt like I was with her every step of the mountain (and even though it was 4 degress while I was reading it, I don't think that was the reason). Great stories and not overly technical. Her passion for the sport and adventure and life shines! And as an administrative assistant, it is a great feeling knowing that even someone at my level can and should be a leader. She nailed it, this is a book I will read over and over!
