Change is not going anywhere. If you want to change yourself, you must not resist change.

‘Greatness comes to those who keep moving forward, figuring out what works, driving down More’s Law….’

‘Continually question and challenge your recipe, but change it rarely.

‘Test equipment in real conditions, sub-zero freezer and simulation trips before the actual expedition.’

‘Resilience, not luck, is the signature of greatness.’

‘Luck favors the persistent, but you can persist only if you survive.’

‘Luck is not a strategy, but getting a positive return on luck is.’

‘A single stroke of luck, no matter how big the break, cannot by itself make a great company.’

‘In selecting teammates, choose people to get stranded with.’

‘Have two separate team, climbers and filmmakers, that work well together on the mountain.’

‘Never let a weak member attempt to summit. ‘A team is only as strong as its weakest member.’

‘Being a good leader boils down to one thing: responding to challenges by making good decisions.’

‘You’re always better off rejecting a role than accepting it for the wrong reasons.’

‘You are always negotiating and everything is negotiable.’

‘Leaders lead by building tool kits that they have developed throughout their personal and professional lives.’

‘Leaders need to find the right balance of creating environments for their employees to really enjoy coming to work while at the same time ensuring it is safe and inclusive space for everyone.’

‘Lead the company according to your vision. While it is important to respect the company’s traditions, you will likely have to break a few of them.’

‘Face the finances. If you’re leading a company with unsustainable losses, you won’t be a leader for long.’

‘Strategy begins with your specific approach to company culture and your leadership philosophy.’

‘Your growth strategy should concentrate on the few, strongest opportunities. Companies fail more often by lacking focus than by focusing on the wrong opportunity.’

‘Set short-term goals to achieve your long-term strategy. Small wins boost employee morale and permit for iterative planning.’
