"A remarkable book," Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the greatest Polar explorer in our lifetime.
Winner of multiple book and audiobook awards.
Here is the story of the life-and-death decisions made by the early Antarctic explorers. Historically accurate, complete with jaw-dropping storytelling, this book explains the mind-set of the explorers who risked life and limb in the Antarctic for science, discovery and being first to the South Pole.
Their lives depended on mutual respect, resilience, camaraderie, loyalty, determination, the ability to resolve conflict, moving forward against all odds, leadership and effective decision-making. All that can be summarised in one word - teamwork!
Teamwork was the foundation on which Antarctic exploration was built.
Businesses large or small are no different (although obviously less frostbite risk). Brad Borkan and David Hirzel demonstrate, in this thrill-a-minute read, how effective great periods in history can be in teaching teamwork and decisive resilience - skills as essential today as they were in the time of Shackleton.
