Synopsis

Book by Skinner Todd

Quatrième de couverture

Part inspiring adventure book, part business advice, Beyond the Summit relates Todd Skinner's rock climbing experiences to the dynamics of corporate achievement. He provides a framework for setting and achieving big goals, and fresh insights into leadership and team-building.

Todd is also one of the most sought-after motivational speakers for business audiences. He sees climbing mountains as a natural metaphor for business challenges. His description of the stamina, skill, ambition and determination needed for his history-making 60-day free climb of the 20,500-foot Trango Tower in the Karakoram Himalayas (three times the height of the Empire State Building) inspires awe and respect. His lessons equally apply to his listeners' professional and personal lives.

To climb a mountain you must know how to define your objective, plan the best strategy, prepare your team, and surmount any obstacles on the way to the summit. This book takes the reader through this process in ten stages that apply to both real and metaphorical mountains. Skinner explains how to stay true to your vision no matter what happens, what tools you need to carry, and which preconceptions you need to leave behind.

Skinner weaves these lessons into a compelling narrative, featuring the heart-stopping action of climbing the sheer rock face of the Trango Tower in the Himalayas.
