Lessons from the Alpine; Leadership values, processes and techniques can be universally applied to any setting. Leading teams in the alpine exaggerates these lessons because the stakes are so high.

In the alpine, if leadership techniques and values such as listening to your team, planning, keeping everyone feeling safe, making timely decisions and believing in a shared vision are executed poorly, they can carry the ultimate consequence.

In this talk Steve takes you through the leadership framework, values processes and techniques that he uses in the alpine and his day to day business life. He showcases examples from both worlds and explains that if we all acted like alpine leaders in which every moment matters, everyone would reach their peaks.
