Scott Fischer And Rob Hall Case Summary
1. What is your evaluation of Scott Fischer and Rob Hall as leaders? Did they make some poor decisions? If so, why?(Required) I believe that due to their experience with climbing Mount Everest, Hall and Fischer might have lead the people better than other guides but made some critical mistakes.

One big mistake I believe they made was allowing people to climb to the submit after the deadline that they set. They know the importance of being strict with this rule and that most people do not have the self discipline to do so. Therefore,

    Marvin Pickering was a high school science teacher from Will County, Illinois who was fired by the Board of Education for writing a letter to the editor. The letter was published in a local newspaper and contained many negative and inflammatory statements toward the school board regarding their use of taxpayer’s money.

    The conclusion of Scott v. Sandford was considered the worst judgment Chief Justice Roger broke Taney ever composed. He disregarded constitutional points of reference, misshaped history, forced an inflexible instead of an adaptive development on the constitution, overlooked particular awards of power in the constitution, and tormented implications out of other, more-cloud provisions. His rationale on the citizenship issue was maybe the most convoluted. He conceded that African Americans could be citizens of a particular state and that they may even have the capacity to vote, as they truth be told did in some states. In any case, he contended that state citizenship had nothing to do with national citizenship and that African Americans couldn't…

    Hubris was a major problem for the guides that led to the demise of many climbers. In this case, some guides did not use oxygen masks (Storm Over Everest). This increased the risk of the climb and made it more likely that they could be incapacitated and unable to perform the duties of a guide as necessary and endangering the customers (Krakauer 9). Regardless of their climbing experience, the safety of the customer should have been put first. Hubris was also relevant when the guides got behind schedule and thought…
