Great Leader, Great Leadership Traits
(Santa Barbara, CA USA) April 22, 2003 - 5.0/5 stars

By now, most are familiar with the trials and adventures of the Irish, Antarctic explorer's failed attempt at reaching the South Pole.

But what authors Morrell and Capparell focus on is Shakelton's leadership traits and skills in crisis management.

Strength, endurance, flexibility, caring, fairness, patience, self-sacrifice, loyalty, duty, determination -- all take on an indelible meaning in the context of the unimaginable obstacles Shakelton and his crew faced ...and survived!

Each chapter not only reads like a part of a reveting adventure story but is summarized with a list of leadership skills followed by a contemporary story of an individual who was inspired and demonstrated those meaningful traits of character.

"Shakelton's Way" should be required reading for anyone with the responsibility of a handful of individuals much less a corporation-full.

One wonders how different the outcome might have been had Shakelton been at the helm of Enron, WorldCom or Arthur Andersen.
