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.
