On the Edge
Book description
Alison Levine is a high altitude mountaineer and polar explorer.

What does mountaineering have to do with leadership? Far more than you might think.
Alison Levine extrapolates her experiences leading the first all-women team to attempt to summit Mt. Everest into clear lessons that, if you grasp them early, will turn you into an expedition leader at work. The book wraps great leadership advice in a compelling adventure story (Do they make it to the summit?), told with Alison’s signature wit.
It’s a quick and enjoyable read and a great start to your leadership library.
From Chris' list on giving first-time managers the confidence to lead.
