Summary
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.
