Sir Ernest Shackleton has been called "the greatest leader that
ever came on God''s earth, bar none" for saving the lives of the
twenty-seven men stranded with him in the Antarctic for almost two
years. Today the public can''t get enough of this once-forgotten
explorer, and his actions have made him a model for great
leadership and masterful crisis management. Now, through anecdotes,
the diaries of the men in his crew, and Shackleton''s own writing,
Shackleton''s leadership style and time-honored principles are
translated for the modern business world. Written by two veteran
business observers and illustrated with ship photographer Frank
Hurley''s masterpieces and other rarely seen photos, this practical
book helps today''s leaders follow Shackleton''s triumphant
example.
