Getting the best from his team

Shackleton in wax by Mme. Tussaud

"Of course the thing I liked most about him was that his first thought was for the men under him. He didn't care if he went without a shirt on his own back so long as the men he was leading had sufficient clothing. He was a wonderful man that way; you felt that the party mattered more than anything else." Lionel Greenstreet, 1st Officer, Endurance
