In this chapter , the author mostly talked about the Shackleton's behavior's in the expedition, so it was rather difficult to follow the important part for the leader. However, I was very interested in the last part.
The author says that good leaders think that things do not go smooth and it is natural that things often go wrong. I thought that leaders should act in order to avoid being in not-well situation. So I thought quite opposite from the authors. I learned that the important part of the leader was to welcome the conflict and be motivated to recover the situation. It is very difficult. And I felt that this ability may be come from leader's optimism. If we do not think in a optimistic way, we cannot be motivated to change the situation. I guess every strategy for the leader is somewhat connected.
Hi, this is Rikako.
返信削除I also think the last chapter is interesting!
If we try to achieve the perfect goal, it will be difficult to go through.
The leader should welcome some difficulties with optimism!
Hi Kuma,
返信削除It is good that you analyzed yourself and compared your style with Perkins one.
Being optimistic is sometimes difficult but I believe it is worth to try to be so.
I also think that Shackleton's 10 strategies are somewhat connected with each other!
Thanks for your well-considered blog!
