After years of aiming for the top job, Nathan’s dream promotion turned out to be a nightmare, and now he’s licking his wounds and climbing a mountain in his native Ireland.
But during a mountain rescue, he learns invaluable skills about effective leadership and is forced to question everything he thought he knew about being in a leadership role. The unforgiving mountain terrain becomes a brilliant metaphor for Nathan’s personal transformation as he learns the true meaning of leadership and how to lead a team effectively. His trip up the mountain is what is needed for him to try again professionally and to pick him out of his career doldrums with valuable tools for his next leadership role.
Cillín Hearns has provided a unique and engaging way to take theories about leadership and demonstrate them in practice. This book is invaluable for those in leadership roles. The opposite of dry and boring, this is a must-read book. So many people are placed in positions of being leaders – whether at work or in the community – so this is a book with broad appeal.
