Shandy Welch is back with me for a second round on Endurance, the incredible story of Sir Ernest Shackleton, and what it teaches us about real-world leadership. In this episode, we pick up where we left off and dig deeper into what it means to lead through chaos, change, and uncertainty. Shandy brings sharp insight on what leaders today can learn from Shackleton’s ability to pivot without creating whiplash for his team.

We talk about how leaders can respond to constant change without losing trust, clarity, or momentum and why holding too tightly to control is often the thing that sinks us. Shandy offers practical, honest advice for nurse managers, physician leads, and anyone new to leadership who feels pressure to "have it all figured out."

This one’s full of grounded wisdom: how to build trust, lead with vision, and use your team’s strengths, especially when things don’t go to plan. Shackleton’s story isn’t just inspiring, it’s a real template for what healthcare leaders need right now.
