Fine update of Shackleton's ideas
(Washington Crossing, PA United States) January 13, 2002 - 5.0/5 stars

Heard the taped version of SHACKLETON'S WAY:
LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM THE GREAT ANTARCTIC
EXPLORER by Margot Morrell and Stephanie Capparell .

. . this
was the perfect companion to the recent documentary I
saw on the same subject, THE ENDURANCE .

. . it enabled
me to better appreciate how Ernest Shackleton and his men
survived the wreck of their ship with no means of communication
and no hope for rescue .

. . the amazing thing was that not
only did every man survive--but did so in both good health
and spirits.

Shackleton was clearly ahead of his time .

. . he led his men
from 1914 to 1916 using some techniques that are now
accepted by all, but I imagine were revolutionary at the
time .

. . for example, the book's authors noted that
he believed in the following:

A good boss will make a burden of work seem lighter.

One person can change an entire work environment.

It was better to replace a failed goal with a more ambitious one.

Chip-in sometimes with the work you are having others do.

In trouble, danger and despair, never give up hope.

The worse
can always be got over.
