Leadership the Outward Bound Way

For more than sixty years, Outward Bound USA has been teaching leadership internationally and in the United States. Some 700,000 people have learned life-changing, transferable leadership skills through Outward Bound's outdoor adventures and expeditions, and strategies for overcoming challenges. Now Outward Bound USA has assembled its top leadership experts to articulate its collective wisdom and experience in Leadership the Outward Bound Way . The book explores how fundamental skills of good leadership can be applied in different contexts -- in outdoor travel and recreation, in the office or the boardroom, and in community work or volunteerism. Contained within this collection of real-life stories are tips, call-outs of key points, helpful hints, case studies, anecdotes, and other exercises to help readers put their knowledge into practice.
