The Basecamp Manifesto is a formative work on developing and sustaining leadership skills. Here, Terence Young outlines the development of a changed narrative around leading organizations. Rather than the often-stereotyped perception of leadership as a solitary ascent to the top-followed often by an equally solitary descent down the leadership peak-Young has created a framework for leadership that relies on developing a "basecamp" of companions. Like the familiar basecamps of extraordinary physical ascents of Mount Everest and other spectacular and spectacularly challenging peaks, a leader's basecamp is a secure base of trusted and trusting peers that shape and nurture you during the ascent to leadership. Young presents the gifts that current and future leaders should find in a secure base: greater clarity in the sense-making process, enhancement of agility in navigating dynamic situations, building endurance to face challenges, and fostering generativity for greater productivity and innovation in one's life quest.
The Basecamp Manifesto is written for leaders of all organizations, whether for-profit or nonprofit. Whether a business leader, an educational leader, a political leader, a religious leader, or other society-facing leader, all leaders face particular and specific challenges in leadership: How do I lead and navigate with those in my circle through a world of increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity?
For the sake of those you lead, Young's groundbreaking work says to leaders: find your people; find your secure base; find and shape and nurture the circle of trust that can make you a quality leader. The Basecamp Manifesto can help you to become intentional about shaping relationships where clarity, agility, durability, and generativity can be found and fostered.

About the Author
Terry is married to Maureen and together they have four grown children and nine amazing grandchildren. They live in Creston, British Columbia, where golf, bass fishing, and biking are their favorite activities, with bike tours abroad ever in view for the future.
This book has been a long time in the writing. Terry engaged in doctoral research in the early 2000s on the experience of holding environments for leaders. This research raised the pressing need for such environments for leaders while also exposing their tragic lack. In the early phase of Terry's thinking, he was focused on clergy leaders, but over time he came to realize the need for secure bases or holding environments for leaders in all domains.
