Beyond goals: Overcoming destructive goal pursuit through learning

D Christopher Kayes

Chapter 10 in Destructive goal pursuit: The mount everest disaster, 2006, pp 129-147 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Once you have obtained your goal, you reflect back on what occurred and realized that you overlooked important, life-threatening details. You reached the summit and achieved your goal, but you did so at a cost. The cost included the lives of other team members, the time you committed to reaching the summit that you could have spent on other productive pursuits, and the suffering of those who love you as they waited to hear about your fate.
