We think of The Edge in two ways – in terms of survival and in terms of performance.

In the first case, The Edge is those situations in which an individual, team or organization is pushed to the outer limits of endurance, with survival often at stake. There are numerous examples of such situations in adventure and survival stories – and we use those stories to bring The Edge to life in our work with clients.  And of course, in today’s global, hyper-competitive economy, many leaders and their teams either have faced, are facing, or expect to face their survival Edge. These are situations that are ripe with adversity. They require courageous leadership and exceptional teamwork to avoid disaster and create a new platform for success.

It is clear, however, that The Edge is also about pushing to the outer limits of performance, and this is the second way we think of the concept. Even when on stable footing, today’s leaders are under pressure to improve performance, find new ways to grow, and increase both their top-line and bottom-line. This is only possible if leaders are able to tap the reservoir of human potential that exists within the organization. At the performance Edge, great leadership and teamwork are required to tap that potential and successfully navigate change.
