Follow on Google News | LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM THE RACE TO THE SOUTH POLE by Fergus O’Connell is published by PraegerHow Proper Planning Can Be a Matter of Life and Death: Why Polar Explorers Amundsen Lived and Scott Died
By: www.theinspiragroup.com What could be more intriguing than a management book built around a real-life gripping story of polar exploration? The results of poor planning are not always as dire as they were for Scott. In business, poor planning can have serious consequences, often because the same mistakes are repeated. Starting with an introduction that details their exploits, the book uses Scott and Amundsen as examples of good and not-so-good leadership. It contrasts the difference in how the two men planned and executed their projects and how they led their respective teams, highlighting things that must be in place for success. What can happen when those things are ignored is also spelled out. Business leaders, group managers, historians and polar exploration enthusiasts will come away from this book with an enthralling and in-depth understanding of a new method for assessing the health of any project—and running it successfully.
