Features: This is a "successful failure." Sir Ernest Shackleton's "Endurance" Antarctic expedition (1914-1916) did not achieve its intended goals, but after two years of life-and-death struggles, Shackleton brought all his men safely home from the distant icy ocean, saving 28 lives through his leadership skills. Sir Shackleton became the undisputed "greatest leader in the history of the world." The problems Shackleton faced are still relevant to managers today, and the development of the times has also presented new challenges to today's managers (such as democracy and equality, motivation and guidance, and business in the internet era). Shackleton's human-centered leadership art is of reference value and practical significance for all those in leadership positions. Through this book, you can learn:
· How to unleash the potential of employees with different strengths and backgrounds and unite them.
· How to make every employee feel appreciated and motivated.
· How to work with limited resources.
· How to handle emergencies, especially how to get out of difficulties, boost morale, and quickly adapt to unexpected situations.
Each chapter includes practical examples that introduce leaders from various industries on how they have applied Shackleton's leadership art in practice. Their stories also tell us that a person can unleash unimaginable potential to achieve big and small goals. So, take action!
