Descriere
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 on an Antarctic ice floe for almost two years. Written by two veteran business observers, Shackleton's Way details universal leadership tactics set against the thrilling survival story of the Endurance expedition.
Whether it's hiring good workers, supporting and inspiring employees to do their best, managing a crisis with limited personnel and resources, creating order out of chaos, or leading by personal example with optimism, egalitarianism, humour, strength, ingenuity, intelligence and compassion, Ernest Shackleton set an example we can all follow.
Illustrated with photographer Frank Hurley's masterpieces and other rarely seen photos, Shackleton's Way is filled with fascinating and practical lessons of a leader who succeeded by putting people first and triumphing brilliantly when all the odds were against him.
Recenzii
I recall the moment as vividly as if I had lived it myself: Ernest Shackleton stands before me, exhorting the stranded Endurance crew to jettison every ounce of unnecessary weight so we can run for our lives across the Antarctic pack ice. For emphasis and example, 'The Boss' tosses his own gold cigarette case into the snow. Using the Endurance saga as a case history, Margot Morrell and Stephanie Capparell have turned a thirteen-year analysis of Shackleton's effective methods into a leadership handbook that reads like an adventure story. They show how successful military leaders, dot com entrepreneurs, investment bankers, educators, corperate executives, and even an astronaut have patterned themselves on the incomparable Antarctic explorer. Better yet, they have neatly codified his winning strategies for the rest of us.
Reading this book is a must... Shackleton's Way for the first time analyses Shackleton's skills in leadership in a way that is entirely relevant to every businessman today. Margot Morrell and Stephanie Capparell have done us a service by their practical analysis of the lessons we can all learn from Shackleton's way of doing things. I thought I knew everything there was to know about his expeditions, trials and tribulations, yet I still found my attention drawn to aspects of his leadership that I had previously undervalued.
An inspirational leadership manual... as well as analysing Shackleton's skills, the book profiles several extremely successful people, ranging from astronauts to e-commerce entrepreneurs, who describe how they have been motivated by his example.
A case-study in leadership...the story is gripping and impressive...In effect, this is three books in one: the biography; useful lists of leadership behaviours and the business case for emulating Shackletone's leadership style. Read any one of these and it is worthwhile; read all three and a viable personal development plan becomes a strong possibility.
If you must lead through crisis and uncertainty - and who doesn't these days? - you must read this book. Shackleton's Way reveals the true leadership lessons of the 20th Century's greatest unsung hero. And unlike most business books, this one is full of excitement, emotion and true literary elegance.
Shackleton's story captures the true essence of leadership: to help each person achieve their best in order to work together to achieve what some view as the impossible. The lessons in this book are timely and invaluable.
Shackleton's Way is filled with gritty examples on the nature of high risk leadership. The characteristics of leadership by example, teambuilding and the spirit needed to overcome great obstacles and sustain a team under stress are well defined in Shackleton's Way. This book would have been required reading for all my flight directors and mission controllers.
More than an adventure story. It identifies Shakleton's techniques and translates them into practical lessons for business people.

Shackleton's WayPreface by the Honorable Alexandra Shackleton
Introduction
Shackleton resonates with executives in today's business world. His people-centered approach to leadership can be a guide for anyone in a position of authority. Some of today's leaders are successfully applying Shackleton's methods to their own work situations. 1. The Path to Leadership
The values Shackleton learned from his family helped form his uniquely progressive leadership style. He worked his way into the forefront of a new field. He turned bad experiences into valuable work lessons. He insisted on respectful competition in a business climate that often demanded cooperation.
Former U.S. Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig sees Shackleton's broad cultural interests as a main ingredient of thoughtful leadership.
2. Hiring an Outstanding Crew
Shackleton built a crew around a core of experienced workers. He conducted unconventional interviews to find unique talent. His second in command was his most important hire. He looked for optimism and cheerfulness in the people he hired. He gave his staff the best compensation and equipment he could afford.
James Cramer credits Shackleton's optimistic example with saving his hedge fund and TheStreet.com from an early demise.
3. Creating a Spirit of Camaraderie
Shackleton made careful observations before acting. He established order and routine so all workers knew where they stood. He broke down traditional hierarchies. He was fair in his dealings with his staff. He used informal gatherings to build espirit de corps.
Eric Miller, a senior adviser at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, sees Shackleton's strategy as fitting well into today's workplace.
4. Getting the Best from Each Individual
Shackleton led by example. He understood and accepted his crewmen's quirks and weaknesses. He used informal one-on-one talks to build a bond with his men. He was always willing to help others get their work done. He helped each man reach his potential.
Luke O'Neill runs Shackleton Schools in New England to put into practice Shackleton's message about individual achievement.
5. Leading Effectively in a Crisis
Shackleton let everyone know that he was in charge and confident of success. He inspired optimism in everyone. He put down dissent by keeping the malcontents close to him. He got everyone to let go of the past and focus on the future. He worked to keep spirits high. He sometimes led by doing nothing.
Jeremy Larken of Octo Ltd. uses Shackleton as a model for intelligent leadership facing a crisis.
6. Forming Teams for Tough Assignments
Shackleton balanced talent and expertise in each team. He ensured all his groups were keeping pace. He remained visible and vigilant. He shored up the weakest links. He got teams to help each other.
Apollo 13 commander James Lovell sees similarities in how Shackleton and he led their crews through crises.
7. Overcoming Obstacles to Reach a Goal
Shackleton took responsibility for getting the whole job done. Even "Old Cautious" sometimes took big risks. He found the inspiration to continue. He kept sight of the big picture. He stepped outside his work to help others.
Jaguar's retired chief of North American operations, Mike Dale, used Shackleton's story to spur his sales crew to new heights.
8. Leaving a Legacy
Shackleton's leadership had a lifelong impact on his crew. His appeal spans generations. His lasting contributions to leadership. He influenced a pioneer project in space. Using his example to promote social change. How we view Shackleton's success today.
