Impressive guy, but his take on leadership focuses 100% on internal corporate culture. There's absolutely no discussion of leadership for the communities in which Vail swings so much economic, social and political weight. For instance, the Change section ignores global warming (except for a brief mention of Vail's energy-efficiency program); the Community section ignores the effect Vail has when it competes with or absorbs local businesses; nor does Katz suggest that Vail might take any role in broader issues of ski racing, education, long-distance transportation and regional infrastructure. Aside from presenting a united corporate face to acquisitions, venders and local governments, there's no consideration of VR's public image. Ironic that Katz leads off by talking up the importance of executive "self-awareness."

Katz
He also succeeded in making Nastar (National Standard Ski Race) unavailable to Vail Resorts skiers.
