This course provides a powerful example of inspirational leadership.  By making a clear connection with the leadership challenges of Sir Ernest Shackleton in bringing his twenty-seven men back to safety from Antarctica after a famously perilous two-year expedition from 1914 to1916, you will walk away with specific tools, strategies, and action plans to improve your own leadership skills and leadership impact within your organization.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn about the challenges faced by Shackleton and his crew on the Endurance.
  
• Discover the impact of beliefs, values, and attitudes on results.
  
• Learn how to create and motivate a highly effective team.
  
• Apply Shackleton’s leadership concepts directly to their own experiences as a leader and team member.
