What can an Antarctic expedition teach you about leadership? More than you might think!

¿ deal effectively with ambiguity and the grey areas leaders face

¿ survive the scrutiny of leadership and look after yourself.

Whether you lead or aspire to lead, this book is your guide to becoming an authentic, resilient, innovative leader who gets the best out of your team.
