In this excerpt from Upward Bound: Nine Original Accounts of How Business Leaders Reached Their Summits, Jim Collins lists some lessons in leadership he's learned from climbing mountains. "Rock climbing, for me, has been the ultimate classroom, with lessons applicable to all aspects of life, including business, management, leadership, and scientific study. It is a sport from which you do not always get a second chance to learn from your mistakes--death tends to stop the learning process. But I've been fortunate to survive my own blunders and to learn some important lessons that apply to life and work outside of climbing."
