Looks at leadership, what it means to be on a team and how teams can grow and learn together

Through thirty years of mountaineering with friends, Walter Wright has learnt a lot about mountaineering, about his team mates and about working on and leading a team.

Using the rope team as a powerful analogy to represent the interdependent nature of the leadership relationship, he shares with us the tales of expeditions (successful and not so successful) and the lessons he has learnt from those successes and failures.

'This book is full of insight into what makes teams work well, engagingly illustrated with examples from thirty years of climbing with trusted friends. Anyone who yearns for good teamwork should grab hold of this book.'
