Product Description
In 2000 Alan Chambers led the first successful unassisted British Expedition to the North Pole from Canada. Walking 500 miles and enduring remarkable challenges, he was subsequently awarded the MBE for Outstanding leadership in the face of extreme adversity. Alans vision is to help leaders in business achieve new heights, drawing on his inspiration. He has been engaged by business leaders the world over to present his core messages about how to achieve the seemingly impossible. He also has taken many of the top leaders of global organisations to the North Pole on subsequent programmes to support their own learning and continued development. Alan has teamed up with Dr Richard Hale, business author and an expert in action learning based leadership development. In this book Richard and Alan provide an account of the essential messages for leaders of the future. Alan gives a graphic account of his expedition and key themes are discussed from the business perspective. This is essential reading for any leader and anyone seeking inspiration in how to succeed when faced with major personal or business challenges.
