Amazing color photos of The Endurance

[BabelColour @StuartHumphryes]

For admirers of Endurance and Sir Ernest Shackleton's trans-antarctic expedition 1914-1917, I have cleaned & enhanced these 107-year-old paget plates taken by Frank Hurley. The last shot is of Shackleton himself. They are all original colour (not colourised).

As #CEO, you have to learn, for example, what’s happening to people who are now unable to come to work because of #COVID19. You’ve got to think about everything—from how teams work to why people want to work. Denise Ramos of @ITT did just that. https://t.co/m1p72e0hTF #TheEdge

We have to look carefully at our #leaders. What is the #leadership we’re going to need in the years ahead? I propose some in #ThEdge. These don’t replace traditional qualities, but are really helping to define a new era in #business. @McKinsey @NGPCapital https://t.co/qaKngC2XfQ

Seeing his markets imploding, splitting, or consolidating, #CEO Ed Breen faced one crisis after another, but he confronted each, triaging his firm, dividing and recombining the enterprise, and confronting a viral threat. #EdgeTheBook https://t.co/5FCQKGHZPb

[Mike Useem @mikeuse]

I conclude #TheEdge with #GeorgeWashington, who was not known for his #business experience but for creating the country. He never attended the military academy, instead only completing 4th or 5th grade. The point is that #leadership is learnable. @McKinsey https://t.co/wj3Acmucl6

[Mike Useem @mikeuse]

Customers look to #employee behavior as an embodiment of the company’s character. Embodying this character starts at the top. Read more about @progressive #CEO Tricia Griffith's #leadership Edge in #EdgeTheBook available at https://t.co/5FCQKGHZPb #businessmanagement #business

[Mike Useem @mikeuse]

Confronting an economic meltdown, @Vanguard #CEO Bill McNabb and his team concluded that the best strategy for client retention began with employee preservation. This paved the way for bringing Vanguard back from the brink. #EdgeTheBook https://t.co/5FCQKGHZPb

[Mike Useem @mikeuse]

The threat of executive obsolescence is not unknown to people in #leadership positions. A survey found that employees self-reported that theirs had risen 20% each year. The inescapable conclusion: to stay relevant as a #leader, you need to stay on #TheEdge https://t.co/5FCQKGHZPb

#TheEdge is that place or point or period where your past skills are still serving you, but you need to bring new skills on line as well. Thank you, @proframcharan, for recognizing the need to breach this divide. Learn more at https://t.co/WJ9xbw8ztI

Beyond their firms’ market value, how should leaders be judged at a time of #BLM, #MeToo, extreme poverty, growing inequity, a killer pandemic,& climate change? In other words, by what millions of people want, not just what investors demand? #TheEdge https://t.co/WJ9xbw8ztI

[Mike Useem @mikeuse]

Thank you, @RebeccaReCap from @HarvardHBS, for recognizing that now more than ever, in the wake of the #pandemic, we need to reconsider the attributes that define #leadership. Learn more in #TheEdge, available now at https://t.co/WJ9xbw8ztI

[Mike Useem @mikeuse]

Thank you for the support, @level5leaders! In #TheEdge, I examine the emerging leadership styles of 10 executives to better appreciate what gives them the edge that outsiders, aspirants, and instructors may still not appreciate or see. https://t.co/WJ9xbw8ztI

[Mike Useem @mikeuse]

Leaders must create an environment in which employees “bring their whole selves” to work. They are more likely to do this if their leader does.

Learn how to do this in #TheEdge, available now at https://t.co/WJ9xbw8ztI

[Mike Useem @mikeuse]

You may have come to management in an era w/out COVID-19; protest movements for diversity, inclusion, & #BLM; calls for greater investment in communities, climate change & extreme inequality. This is an entirely new era for leadership. #TheEdge https://t.co/WJ9xbw8ztI

Thank you, @Wharton and U @Penn for having me on to discuss my new book #TheEdge, out **TODAY**. Listen to the clip below to learn more about this project. https://t.co/ikgqv1ht1A

It became apparent to me that the defining qualities of #business #leadership in the 1990s would not be the same as the 2000s or 2010s or the 2020s. **INTRODUCING** #TheEdge, a book that reenvisions this new style of leadership, available NOW at https://t.co/NeDxP22xyG
