On the Edge Chapter 7

Chapter 7
Bring It

“Leaders are supposed to know what skills and equipment are needed to get a job done right or to achieve a goal. “

Levine talks about the importance of bringing the right equipment to be successful.  Her example in this chapter is when she climbed Carstensz Pyramid, the highest peak in Australia.  

Her lack of preparation almost costed her goal to climb the mountain
Mistakes
  1. She forgot to bring extra hand warmers - which was important to treat her Raynaud's syndrome (fingers and toes become numb in cold temperature)
  2. She did not bring an extra light bulb for headgear
  3. She forgot her regular prescription glasses

You are responsible for knowing what tools are needed to be successful.  There are no excuses.
