The lessons learned from the Mount Everest case can be worth while to managers running an organization. One of the major problems within this case was the inapt/ineffective decision making. Within a company, the decision manager’s make can help or destroy the company. Looking at the rational decision model, managers use a four-step process to identify and solve problems. If this process was used during the Mount Everest case, then it is possible that the misguided decisions Robert Hall and Scott Fisher made could have been avoid. An example is when both Hall and Fisher directly led themselves and some of their clients to their death by not taking the proper safety precautions. This most likely occurred because the Hall and Fisher took the information presented to them, and did not properly evaluate and alternative solution. They became blinded by the thrill of reaching the top, and did not properly think about the harmful decisions being made. This can apply to an organization as managers often have to make decision based only on the information at hand; however, those managers can use years of work experience to gather facts and come to a solution.

This case dealt with the tragedy that occurred on Mount Everest in 1996. There are a handful of lessons that can be taken away and used in any organization. Some of those include leadership, decision-making, and group/team dynamics. Managers of an organization can help themselves and their organization by focusing on the problems that occurred. they should make the best decisions for the situation, encourage group/team building to establish a form of trust, and apply the right style of leadership for the situation.
