Any tactical or mountain leader has read multiple essays, books and biographies on great leaders and the tenants of great leadership. However there are few resources available, written by leaders themselves, about mistakes they’ve made while “in the arena.”
This is an opportunity to examine and reflect on your own leadership mistakes, and share your mistakes and lessons learned with other tactical and mountain leaders.
Your sincere effort, honesty and reflection can be a gift to yourself and others.
