Endurance by Alfred Lansing is an astonishing true story of how a group of twenty-eight men survived in the Antarctic for two years, thanks primarily to one man’s leadership, attitude, and perseverance. The Imperial Trans-Atlantic Expedition was headed by Ernest Shackleton, an explorer and consummate leader of men. Shackleton used his gut-feeling to hand-pick his crew, ensuring they knew that success would be rewarded but also aware that a safe return home is not guaranteed. Shackleton chose men

Leadership in Crisis Ernest Shackleton and the Epic Voyage of the Endurance 3/10/2014 aFriendInNeed Situation Overview: Shackleton sailed with 27 men from South Georgia Island on a British Polar expedition into South Atlantic aboard the ship called Endurance.

For an exemplary leader, what is one of the highest compliments that you could ever receive? Sir Ernest Shackleton was a British explorer who–after failing to reach the Southern Pole first–wanted to be the first to ever accomplish a trans–Antarctic expedition. On October 27th, 1915 Shackleton’s boat–the Endurance–was crushed by the pressure of the melting Antarctic ice; leaving Shackleton and his crew stranded in the Antarctic. On August 30th, 1916 after a treacherous one and a half years of living

No other leader could have led this fascinating expedition. In addition, Shackleton was probably the only one that could do anything even like this. When Shackleton left to South Georgia Island, the rest of the crew had a hellish time with the weather and the stress of being stranded on a freezing Elephant Island. In other words they were getting beat by the weather and falling down hill slowly. If the Endurance didn’t collapse, the expedition would have been a whole lot easier. Although the adventure
