On Shackleton's Leadership


Frank Worsley on Shackleton's Leadership:


“Any and every duty is undertaken cheerfully and willingly and no complaint or whining is ever heard no matter what hardships or inconvenience may be encountered. The principal credit of this is due to the tact and leadership of the Head of the Expedition and the cheery happiness and bonhomie of Wild. They both command respect, confidence and affection.
