Shackleton's Way
Stranded in the Antarctic with his ship’s
crew 1,200 miles from civilization, he fought hunger, desperation and
mind-boggling cold for nearly two years to get all of his men to safety. A
thrilling survival story and an inspirational guide for business leaders today.
He has been called “the greatest leader that ever came on
God’s earth, bar none,” yet he never led a group larger than twenty-seven, he
failed to reach nearly every goal he ever set and, until recently, he had been
little remembered after his death. But once you learn the story of Sir Ernest
Shackleton and his remarkable Antarctic expedition of 1914 you’ll come to agree
with the effusive praise of those under his command. He is a model of great
leadership and, in particular, a master of guidance in crisis.
