Struggle to the Summit

You don't get to the top of Mt Everest by stopping to help other climbers. Even those found dying under a rock (The Age, 24/5/06). No, it's "eyes on the prize" for Mark Inglis and his party of 40 climbers - and death for Briton David Sharp for making a mistake.

I'm sure the Macquarie Bank would welcome Mr Inglis to their senior executive team, where his "devil take the hindmost" management philosophy will be embraced with gusto.
