Shackleton's Way: Leadership Lessons from the Great Antarctic Explorer
Margot Morrell, Stephanie Capparell
Rating: 4.0/5 Stars
Rank: 28314
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.
