"Way" is Wonderful!
(Saratoga Springs) January 15, 2001 - 5.0/5 stars

In 1914, Ernest Shackleton and 27 others started on a journey to be the first people to cross the Antarctic Continent.

Their ship was caught in the ice, eventually crushed, and the story of how they all survived has become a classic.

In this book, the story is retold with new insights and information. The authors focus on Shackleton as leader.

The conclusions are very well drawn, and the connections and insights regarding "leadership" are true, valid, and extremely worthwhile.

They make sense, they are useful, and they work! I've been to South Georgia and Elephant Island, and thus have some appreciation of the difficulties Shackleton and his men faced.

His leadership skills came through for his team then, and the lessons learned are more than appropriate for leaders of today.
