The problem with leadership: How leadership contributed to the tragedy

D Christopher Kayes

Chapter 5 in Destructive goal pursuit: The mount everest disaster, 2006, pp 51-67 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract You arrive at Katmandu in the Kingdom of Nepal—one of the most bizarre and underdeveloped cities in the world. The kingdom has only been open to westerners since the 1950s. You discover that modernity has only begun to trickle in. As your plane lands at the airport, you are shocked to see abandoned fuselages and old airplane engine parts littered just off the runway. You quickly become aware that you are in a place that has a different set of beliefs and habits.
