Northbound Approach Community - You are personnally invited. Ultralight Leadership: Carry Less, Lead Farther What if leadership worked the same way as ultralight backpacking? In this episode, Chris uses the trail to illustrate a powerful leadership truth: the more unnecessary weight we carry, the harder it is to go farther. From auditing your "pack" to navigating the ascent, summit, and descent, this episode explores how removing excess—old processes, emotional baggage, and unnecessary systems—allows leaders to care for people better, move with clarity, and stay healthy for the long haul. Because in leadership, just like on the trail, less weight means you can lead farther.
