Climbing Everest: Insights into Teamwork & Leadership | Katja Staartjes | TEDxTwenteU

How do you realise true teamwork? Climbing at high altitude is living far outside your comfort zone. This offers valuable insights into leadership and teamwork. The difficult circumstances test the team to the limit and demand close collaboration in order to achieve the common goal. Peak Performance is only possible with real teamwork. Mountain climber Katja Staartjes leads you, with stunning photos, up the mountain and shares the lessons learned above 8000 metres.
Katja Staartjes was the first Dutch woman to climb Mount Everest (8848 m) and has ascended several other mountain giants. She completed the Great Himalaya Trail, a journey of 2000 kilometres through the Himalayas. She shares her knowledge in the corporate world and has written 3 books about her adventures.
