Shackleton's Way: Leadership Lessons from the Great Antarctic Explorer
Shackleton

Great showcase of leadership lessons that depart from the traditional "this is what a leader does." The book highlights a great leader in practice and allows the reader to infer and apply the lessons learned.

Morrell, M., & Capparell, S. (2001). Shackleton's way: leadership lessons from the great Antarctic explorer . Viking.
