(#022) Leadership Lessons from Antarctica

Ever wonder what it takes to lead a mission in the coldest, most unforgiving place on Earth?

In this episode of Antarctica Did That For Me, we (your hosts, Keri Nelson and Cassa Grant) dive into the tricky terrain of leading a team in Antarctica.

From the hierarchical “my way or the highway” approach of Captain Scott… to the more democratic style of Sir Ernest Shackleton, we discuss the leadership secrets that can make or break an expedition in the world’s harshest environment.

We also dig into what we learned about leadership from our co-workers during our time in Antarctica, an environment that can bring out the best and the worst in folks.

Whether you’re planning your own Antarctic adventure, or just trying to lead yourself out of bed in the morning, this episode has something for you.

We’ll show you why being relatable, flexible, and authentic are the real superpowers of any leader, especially when the going gets tough.

Plus, we’ll let you in on a little secret: the most important leader you’ll ever have is YOU.
