I believe that shackleton's leaderships skills are what saved these men's life, why you may ask? well simply because he acted as if he was one with the crew members and no one was ever better than the other, everyone was on the same level. This was very unheard of at the time because it was never the captain's job to get on his hands and knees and scrub the deck but nothing was below Shackleton. When ever he sensed a problem with a person on the crew he pulled him in close and gave him certain duties to get done to avoid

Through Link Crew training, I learned that you don’t have to be extroverted to be a great leader. Sometimes the best leaders are those who speak less and listen more, the ones who observe before they act, the ones who lead by example as well as instruction. Leading wide-eyed freshmen around an entirely new building and watching their expressions transform from nervousness and anxiety to excitement…

This eventually won him such praise and respect that, several years later when planning his next expedition, many of the men signed on with him again even though they had still not been paid from the Endurance voyage. This level of loyalty cannot be bought or forced, only earned.…
