Margot Morrell and Stephanie Capparell
Shackleton’s Way
Leadership Lessons from the Great Antarctic Explorer
Penguin, 2002
Was ist drin?
Shackleton sailed a lifeboat 800 miles over uncharted seas. All you have to do is manage an organization – no problem.
Recommendation
This compelling volume accomplishes the unlikely feat of being both a useful management guide and a suspense-filled page-turner. That’s because the book enjoys an unusually rich source of material: a near-deadly Antarctic voyage that everyone survived by dint of the leader’s formidable management skills. Margot Morrell and Stephanie Capparrell present a strong case that Sir Ernest Shackleton was indeed a great leader. They mine the journey for the telling details of Shackleton’s management style, and include short accounts from modern business leaders who look to Shackleton as an inspiration. getAbstract recommends this guide to leaders and would-be leaders who love adventure tales and seek an inspiring take on management from a true master.
