Such a great read! While Shackleton’s expedition certainly faced extreme conditions, it’s worth noting that they weren’t contending with another 28-man crew in the same predicament. In contrast, today’s businesses must not only survive challenges but also outmaneuver competitors, forcing them to adopt the anti-Shackleton approach. Simply preserving everything isn’t enough—true success lies in knowing what to let go so you can ultimately thrive.
Totally agree Shawn. The trick is to be flexible enough to adapt to the current and future situations. This can be especially hard when it comes to reducing staff but sometimes you have to do it, to survive. Thanks for reading and the comment. I really appreciate it.
