Soon trapped in a prison of solid pack ice, the crew became engaged in a legendary fight against brutal cold, impenetrable ice, dwin-dl-ing food, and complete isolation. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, the team remained cohesive, congenial, and mercifully alive - a fact that speaks not just to luck but to an unparalleled feat of leadership. \u003c\/p\u003e  Part adventure tale, part leadership guide, \u003ci\u003eLeading at The Edge\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates the power of strong leadership in times of adversity, uncertainty, and change.
