Appropriate for undergraduate, graduate, and executive education programs, this version of the narrative that is K2 supplies the full version of the story based on consecutive dates. Written as a replacement for the much-used Greenland Case (UVA-OB-0581) this undisguised case can be taught likewise. Chris Warner headed a team of experienced mountain climbers on an expedition to reach the summit of K2-the second greatest in the world.
Warner and his team brought collectively other teams representing eight different nations expecting to work together for success, after failing to triumph on their first two attempts. Their story is an account full of examples where a leadership point of view was taken or not taken. The achievements and failures of the expedition's strategy is bursting with real world examples and offers an exciting framework to house theoretical notions about team building and direction.
