Leadership Lessons from the Great Antarctic Explorer

Shackleton's Way

Domenico Di Leo

The remarkable story of a Irish-English explorer who probably is the best leader that this earth has ever seen. In times when so many exploration missions were finishing in tragedy, Shackleton’s ship got trapped in Antarctica and sunk leaving him and his crew of 28 men on the ice for 2 years. Shackleton kept all his men alive though great leadership and successfully accomplished the longest travel on a small boat even made, 800 miles across the dangerous Southern Ocean to reach the closest inhabited island and eventually save all his men. An extraordinary adventure and great leadership lesson.

Sir Ernest Shackleton has been called 'the greatest leader that ever came on God's earth, bar none' for saving the lives of the twenty-seven men stranded with him on an Antarctic ice floe for almost two years. Written by two veteran business observers, Shackleton's Way details universal leadership tactics set against the thrilling survival story of the Endurance expedition. Whether it's hiring good workers, supporting and inspiring employees to do their best, managing a crisis with limited personnel and resources, creating order out of chaos, or leading by personal example with optimism, egalitarianism, humour, strength, ingenuity, intelligence and compassion, Ernest Shackleton set an example we can all follow. Illustrated with photographer Frank Hurley's masterpieces and other rarely seen photos, Shackleton's Way is filled with fascinating and practical lessons of a leader who succeeded by putting people first and triumphing brilliantly when all the odds were against him.
