Overview

Shackleton has been called ‘the greatest leader that ever came on God’s earth, bar none’, yet he never led a team larger than 27 people, failed to achieve nearly every goal he set and, until recently, had been little remembered since his death in 1922. Stranded in the frozen Antarctic sea for nearly two years, Shackleton and his team of polar explorers endured extreme temperatures, hazardous ice, dwindling food supplies and complete isolation. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, the group remained cohesive, congenial, and mercifully alive - a fact that speaks not just to luck but to an unparalleled feat of leadership.

Drawing on the amazing and true story of the ‘Endurance’ Expedition, this informative, interactive and inspirational online workshop will highlight the critical importance of ‘True North’ leadership when responding to the challenges, and particularly maximising the opportunities, that emerge in times of adversity, uncertainty and change.
