Download Leading at the Edge: Leadership Lessons from the Extraordinary Saga of Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition AudioBook Free

In December of 1914, the British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, sailed from the island of South Georgia in the Southern Sea. Its goal: the first overland crossing of Antarctica. Soon captured in a prison of solid load up ice, the team became engaged in a renowned fight against brutal cool, impenetrable ice, dwin­dl­ing food, and complete isolation. Despite these apparently insurmountable hurdles, the team remained cohesive, congenial, and mercifully alive - an undeniable fact that speaks not simply to fortune but to an unequalled feat of management. Part adventure tale, part management guide, Leading with the Edge demonstrates the energy of strong management in times of adversity, doubt, and change. This interesting and sensible audiobook unveils Ten Strategies for Success, illustrating how market leaders can:

• Instill optimism while keeping yourself grounded in reality
• Have the courage to step up to risks well worth taking
• Consistently reinforce the team subject matter
• Set an individual example
• Find something to enjoy then one to laugh about
• Never give up - almost always there is another move!

The second release features new case studies highlighting the strategies in action, tools to discover and resolve conflicts, and broadened resources. An up to date epilogue compares Shackleton's management style with this of famed polar explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert Scott, and will be offering insights into how their contrasting approaches led to strikingly different benefits. Today's market leaders have much to learn from this gripping bank account of survival against all probabilities. Leading with the Edge can help them get around the abrasive waters of any turbulent environment and achieve success when confronted with adversity.
