Who better to learn leadership skills from than the men who led teams through the -49° conditions of Antarctica?
These men have gone down as heroes in history, but as Brad Borkan, strategic partner marketing at SAP points out, none of them achieved the goal they initially set out to.
Despite failure, these Antarctic expedition leaders still achieved success by reframing their goals. For example, when Sir Ernest Shackleton didn’t make it to the South Pole, he still ensured his team made it the furthest South anyone had ever been before.
