Delve into Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Trans-Antarctic Expedition, learn about his bold adventures, relentless adaptability, and remarkable courage.
Despite the failed mission to cross the Antarctic over the South Pole, Shackleton’s exceptional leadership ensured the survival of his entire crew after their ship was destroyed. Dr. Philip L. Cochran, the Thomas W. Binford Chair in Corporate Citizenship at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, will explore how Shackleton’s perseverance and strategic decisions made his expedition an enduring case study in leadership. Cochran brings a wealth of knowledge, with roles across Indiana University, including as an Affiliate Professor of Philanthropic Studies and Adjunct Professor of Health Policy and Management. A well-published scholar, Cochran’s work has garnered over 14,000 citations, and his expertise has led him to lecture across five continents.
