Shackleton, Ernest
On January 22, 2006 Margot Morrell emailed two primary questions in response to QFL's request, "... to contribute the crucial leadership questions that you believe that Shackleton would have been asking himself in leading the Endurance crew to safety."
Shackleton's primary questions which he asked throughout his expeditions must have been:
- What have I done today to improve someone else's life?
- What steps did I take today towards achieving my most important goals?

Bio
Margot Morrell has worked in corporate America for twenty-four years. She has been a student of Shackleton's life and work since 1984. Her deep interest in Sir Ernest's leadership qualities and the group dynamics of the Endurance expedition have taken her to the Antarctic twice and on numerous trips to the U.K. to spend days immersed in the archives of the Scott Polar Research Institute and Dulwich College. It also led her, as an independent project, to transcribe two of the diaries from the Endurance expedition -Thomas Orde-Lees' (500+ pages) and Frank Hurley's (250 pages). She is currently at work on a third, Dr. Alexander Macklin's. She has a degree in art history from Newton College of the Sacred Heart and a master's degree in library science from Simmons. She lives in New York City.
