Below are key excerpts from the book that I found particularly insightful:Jun 15, 2018
I generally do not like historic tales and was hesitant at first to give this book a try. A little ways into the book I was about to call it quits, but given how short it was I decided to continue. This turned out to be a great decision.Nov 10, 2014
Shackleton was an amazing man and I appreciated how this book wove his personal accomplishments and leadership qualities with the biography of his life.Oct 14, 2018
Shackleton is my new hero! Great book uncovering a new-to-me legend using the lens of modern leadership theory. Practical lessons for anyone working on a team of any kind.Jan 13, 2016
Took me 6 months to finish this, but Shackleton is definitely worth studying. It doesn't matter so much that you read this cover to cover, but at the very least read the end of chapter summaries with applications of how executives/leaders today are applying the model of leadership Shackleton set. Lots of nuggets to remember; my favorite quote is, "Optimism is true moral courage." The last two paragraphs of this book really drove the whole point of how well Shackleton led: He never achieved many Took me 6 months to finish this, but Shackleton is definitely worth studying.

The last two paragraphs of this book really drove the whole point of how well Shackleton led: He never achieved many of his goals, yet he is admired today because of his relentless drive to push forward, remain optimistic, be energetic and courageous and prioritize camaraderie. I would recommend to start learning about Shackleton by watching the short Netflix documentary series called Chasing Shackleton, and pursue your study of him from there if your interest is piqued. ...moreSep 19, 2012
The best thing about this book was the font in which it was printed. Versailles. It was beautiful and so airy and easy to read. But enough about that.Mar 29, 2012
Over the years history has come to regard Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton as an explorer of the first rate, eclipsing both Roald Amundson - who may have made polar exploration look too easy when he achieved the South Pole without incident in 1911, and Robert Falcon Scott - who for reasons only the British can explain, was celebrated for reaching the South Pole in 1912, a month after Amundson, and then dying of scurvy, privation, and exposure with his entire party on the return trip.Aug 02, 2017
Outstanding book. ties Shackleton's behavior to leadership skills that everyone can use.Jan 19, 2019
Great book about a harrowing historical episode, and a compelling read for anyone who wants to be inspired to rise above and tap into their ability to lead and inspire others to follow them.Jul 01, 2017
one of the rare books that explains leadership under extreme crisis with real example that is not just anecdotal. most recommended.May 19, 2018
Interesting concepts but the writing is dry and difficult to follow.Nov 04, 2016
An excellent read. Analysis of the ill fated expedition with insightful commentary. One of the best leadership books.Sep 29, 2017
It took me longer than expected to get through this but I'm glad I finished it. Great leadership lessons plus the story of Shackleton and his crew really made it worth while.Sep 23, 2018
actually good to understand further a legendary character such as ShackletonMar 06, 2019
I had to read this for work. It was a decent overview of Shackleton’s famous expedition but I thought the management lessons were a little forced.Nov 12, 2018
Engaging stories of exploration that give effective life and leadership lessons. The anecdotal stories from current leaders can be skippedFeb 21, 2019
An inspiring book on what makes an excellent leader, as observed through the life of Ernest Shackleton. Even though the events in the book occurred 100 years ago, the principles are very timely and relevant for today.Aug 28, 2019
If you're not familar with Shackleton's leadership principles, you need to be. Don't count out any of your people when you face a tough challenge. Support everyone and give them the best chance to succeed. Great foundational tinking for rising leaders at any level.Dec 17, 2018
Great insight and breakdowns of Shackleton's leadership style. As I'm uninterested in business I appreciated the little that Morrell went into for how the style of Shackleton could benefit in business positions, though I could see people wanting more out of that side of the book being left unfulfilled.Jun 24, 2018
When I get asked for book recommendations on management and leadership I usually include Andy Grove’s “High Output Managementâ€, Eli Goldratt’s “The Goalâ€, Stanley McChrystal’s “Team of Teamsâ€, Karl Albrecht’s “The Northbound Trainâ€, and more recently Ray Dalio’s “Principles†(skip to 2nd part of the book).

This book was superb - gave me a new way of looking at Servant Leadership (from 100+ years ago!)Nov 08, 2019
The remarkable story of a Irish-English explorer who probably is the best leader that this earth has ever seen. In times when so many exploration missions were finishing in tragedy, Shackleton’s ship got trapped in Antarctica and sunk leaving him and his crew of 28 men on the ice for 2 years. Shackleton kept all his men alive though great leadership and successfully accomplished the longest travel on a small boat even made, 800 miles across the dangerous Southern Ocean to reach the closest The remarkable story of a Irish-English explorer who probably is the best leader that this earth has ever seen.

An extraordinary adventure and great leadership lesson. ...moreNov 07, 2018
The core lessons in this book is what saves it, but honestly if you just read the pages with bullet point recaps, you will get just as much out of the book in a fraction of the time. I understand this book is a memorialization of Shackleton, but he is painted as if he has no faults throughout the book. The book reiterates the same points over and over and grows monotonous. The author could have done a much better job of weaving the story together with the lessons.

I had to read this for a management course. It's a very interesting story and shows a lot of useful leadership's tactics, but it's also a tedious and repetitive read. By the end of the book, I was so happy to be done being told how amazing this guy was. I understand it's being told to memorialize this guy, as well as show the things you can learn from him, but after 200 pages of, "This guy was really great. No, not just great. Incredible.

I read this book as part of a project for one of my college courses. Unbelievably, I had never heard of Ernest Shackleton prior to this. He was a pioneer in Antarctic exploration, but is arguable more famous for getting his entire crew home alive after being stranded on the ice shelf around Antarctica for nearly two years following the sinking of their ship. The story reads like an incredible action/adventure movie.Take your time and choose the perfect book.
