Stuart seems to have the perfect life-a great career as a CEO, a lovely wife, and two wonderful children. However, just below the crumbling facade, he is steeped in guilt and shame. His life is a disaster and is about to explode.
His world unravels as the burden of living a double life becomes too heavy and out of the blue, the Board demands his resignation. The prospect of sharing the news of his unemployment with his wife is more than he can bear and suicidal thoughts become entrenched in his mind. He decides the best thing to do is to end it all, but his friend Abe interrupts his disastrous scheme.
Every year Abe and Stuart plan an adventurous weekend. This year they’ll hike through a range of mountains Stuart has never experienced and he decides to use the adventure to find the perfect cliff for an “accidental” fall.
Yet it is no accident that Stuart and Abe team up with other hikers who
represent every constraint in Stuart’s life: fear, pride, doubt, anger, and lust. Stuart’s eyes are opened to leadership skills he’s never seen or heard of before.
Leaders learn how to address and remove personal and professional constraints in order to build healthy relationships. The results are ethical fortitude, increased productivity and profitability, and unending personal growth. Only then can Individuals be a continual positive influence in other people’s lives.
The Hike is life changing and reveals the missing link to transforming and
successful leadership.
