Leadership Lessons Learned on the Appalachian Trail. Our greatest successes aren’t always achieved with a perfectly executed plan. Instead, they are accomplished by how well we prepare, how we work together, what attitude we take with us, and how we adapt to the obstacles we face along the way. This presentation provides beautiful photos, inspiring stories, and a strong message on the importance of leadership, on and off the trail. |
