Ernest Shackleton leadership qualities

Who is Ernest Shackleton?
He is an Antarctic explorer.

Why do I choose to learn from an Antarctic explorer?
Today we face more unknown challenges than before. We do not know how to manage the unknown. No proven records to learn from. No schools to learn from. An explorer who sets out to discover the unknown territories is in a similar situation and thus a good example to learn from.

What are the leadership qualities that we must learn from him?
  1. Be optimistic
  2. Obtain feedbacks to improve
  3. Be flexible
  4. Lead by example
  5. Boost morale
