The Story

A compeling business and life allegory, Iditarod Leadership features a host of characters: Nils, Joe, and Lizzie as dog mushing experts guiding Chris, Gary, and Jason—final competitors in this fictitious adventure.

The lives of three business leaders converge, each at vastly different checkpoints within their careers:

  • Jason—a young sales producer eager to make his mark
  • Gary—a seasoned executive struggling with burnout, trying to make meaning of it all
  • Chris—a consultant coming to grips with the reality that leading a team is much more difficult than producing results on his own.

Their paths, while different, have led them to the northern reaches of the western hemisphere and an Alaskan wilderness adventure. Here they will learn what it takes to mush a team of dogs and face down the brutal elements of unforgiving weather, while overcoming rugged terrain and their own limitations.

The tale culminates in a compelling three-day race in which each learns about life, leadership, mushing and gaining the will to persevere and achieve lasting success!
