Be creative. Think innovatively. Find solutions. Respond to a crisis appropriately. Build a team. Fight for success. Never give up.
These are inevitable qualities of a business and it’s management.
Exactly these qualities are also inevitable for Thomas Ulrich. He is familiar with both sides of the coin: a successful entrepreneur but at the same time always setting off for another forbidding place on earth, places that only a few ever dare to go to. Survival there means months, sometimes even years of preparation. The skilled mountain guide is meticulous when it comes to his preparations. He knows why: once on the go, minor mistakes and negligence can lead to a catastrophe, not only to failure but to death.
While Thomas Ulrich talks about his experiences, the audience catches fire. His actions are led by an untamable desire to explore new land. A goal once targeted is pursued with passion, determination and tenacity; right up to the starting date. Russian authorities, inaccessible islands since decades, secret services and much more – none of the above can stop Thomas Ulrich when he wants to set out.
However, in spite of his passion, Ulrich is not a gambler. Dealing with and minimizing risk accordingly, taking chances but still being equipped with everything – this is the biggest part of Ulrich’s preparation of his projects. When it comes down to the right equipment, he shows a huge amount of innovative strength: he has not only contrived numerous pieces of his equipment but also constructed them, either by himself or in collaboration with development departments of various companies. His guideline is as always: I want only the best.
The challenges that Thomas Ulrich faces out in the nature are perfectly transferrable to management needs, these including:
- Having and implementing visions,
- passion in leadership: building a team and staying together,
- the ability to focus on a goal,
- the right risk management,

- that most of the time we set our own limits.
