Every member of a working group or a team has a defined role, such as that of a leader or a mentor. Although every role has its own distinct definition, a great mentor can be a great leader and vice versa. One of the finest mentor leaders, explorer Ernest Shackleton, set an example of how to lead and mentor in harsh conditions; this was laid out by Dennis NT Perkins in his book Leading at the Edge. Even today, in these challenging times, Shackleton teaches us that, no matter how far beyond our reach a goal might be, the key is to never give up, but rather encourage yourself and your team to take small steps, celebrate your achievements, and stand tall even when there is “no land in sight”. Rest assured, beyond the horizon of our limitations lies a vast space of possibilities waiting to be explored.
