Tasks:

1. Martha Lagace states: “One of the great challenges of managing or leading in
   turbulence is being able to play to your stronger suit as a leader and also play to others'
   stronger suits. Lincoln did it, Shackleton did it, Gandhi, Frederick Douglass, and many
   others have done it. We need to be able to help our students understand how they can
   do it both in "big L" leadership contexts, and, as HBS Dean Kim Clark says, in "small
   l" leadership roles”. (Harvard Business School, Shakelton: An Entrepreneur of
   Survival, 2003, p.3).
   How would you characterise Shackleton’s leadership style? What are the important
   lessons that can be learned from the article in the context of contemporary business
   organisations in a crisis?
   (LO 2).
2. In relation to a business example of your choosing, critically analyse and evaluate an
   organisational situation by drawing on the schools of leadership.
   Make recommendations for improving performance and enhancing value.
