Effective Leadership in Adventure Programming ,
2nd Edition
by Simon Priest &
Michael Gass
This updated edition provides in-depth
information on the key elements of effective outdoor leadership. Written
by two of the world's leading authorities in the field of adventure
programming, this comprehensive text goes beyond the technical skills of
outdoor leadership to address the equally important facilitation skills
and meta-skills essential to highly effective leaders. The book examines
the historical and philosophical foundations of the rapidly emerging
profession of adventure programming; reviews technical competencies that
outdoor leaders should possess; provides general safety and
environmental guidelines; directs readers to additional sources that
will help them attain proficiency in these skills; and examines the
organizational, instructional, and facilitation skills of outdoor
leadership.
