On the Edge: The Art of High-Impact Leadership

Levine has climbed the Seven Summits and skied to both North and South Pole. Her first Everest attempt (2002) fell only 300 feet shy of the summit due to weather but she finally succeeded in 2010. Her ability to achieve these goals is all the more impressive as she has Raynaud’s Disease which can inhibit the flow of blood to extremities in cold conditions. Here she chronicles the ups and downs of her expeditions to Carstenz Pyramid (1999), Everest (2002, 2010), and the South Pole (2008) and makes a compelling case that the leadership principles that apply in the world of extreme adventure also apply to today’s rigorously competitive business environments. Both settings require you to make critical decisions when the conditions around you are far from perfect. She currently lectures on leading teams in extreme environments at West Point.
