Time for a Break

The Path to Leadership The values Shackleton learned from his family helped form his uniquely progressive leadership style. He worked his way to the forefront of a new field. He turned bad experiences into valuable work lessons. He insisted on respectful competition in a business climate that often demanded co-operation.

Valuing our VALUES

Hiring an Outstanding Crew Shackleton built a crew around a core of experienced workers. He conducted unconventional interviews to find unique talent. His second in command was his most important hire. He looked for optimism and cheerfulness in the people he hired. He gave his staff the best compensation and equipment he could afford.

Questions & Answers

Creating a Spirit of Camaraderie Shackleton made careful observations before acting. He established order and routine so all workers knew where they stood. He broke down traditional hierarchies. He was fair in his dealings with his staff. He used informal gatherings to build ‘esprit de corps’.

Heroines & Heroes

Getting the Best from Each Individual Shackleton led by example. He understood and accepted his crewmen’s quirks and weaknesses. He used informal one-to-one talks to build a bond with his men. He was always willing to help others get their work done. He helped each man reach his potential.

RocketScience

Leading Effectively in a Crisis Shackleton let everyone know that he was in charge and confident of success. He inspired optimism in everyone. He put down dissent by keeping the malcontents close to him. He got everyone to let go of the past and focus on the future. He worked to keep spirits high. He sometimes led by doing nothing. V

Forming Teams for Tough Assignments Shackleton balanced talent and expertise in each group. He ensured all his groups were keeping pace. He remained visible and vigilant. He shored up the weakest links. He got teams to help each other.

MarshmallowTowers

Overcoming Obstacles to Reach a Goal Shackleton took responsibility for getting the whole job done. Even “Old Cautious” sometimes took big risks. He found the inspiration to continue. He kept sight of the big picture. He stepped outside his work to help others.

Leaving a Legacy Shackleton’s leadership had a lifelong impact on his crew. His appeal spans generations. He made lasting contributions to leadership. His influence on a pioneer project in space. Using his example to promote social change. How we view Shackleton’s success today.

How will I act differently as a result of this session?

Final Thoughts

People acting together as a group can accomplish things that no individual acting alone could bring about Franklin D. Roosevelt

How will I act differently as a result of this session?

…I’ll probably do nothing about it! If I do nothing about it in 24 hours…
