About the Author

Chris Warner and Don Schmincke are elite leadership consultants and mountaineering experts who draw on high-risk expeditions and scientific models to teach executives how to lead with clarity and courage under pressure.

Chris is a world-class climber who has led over 200 international expeditions, including ascents of Everest and K2. Don is an MIT-trained strategist and founder of The SAGA Leadership Institute. Together, their book “High Altitude Leadership” became a top-ranked business title, redefining how companies train leaders for extreme conditions. Their approach is grounded in real-world danger—and real-world performance.
