About the Author

RACHAEL ROBERTSON After 15 years leading diverse and remote teams and business units, I took the jump and lead the 58th annual expedition to Antarctica. It was a tough, gruelling and exhausting year, but ultimately extremely reward-ing and fruitful. The intensity of this leadership role, where the leader is on-duty all day, every day, for 12 months with no respite, gave me the opportunity to road test my leadership ideas the hard way - without the luxury of peers, a desk or any way out! It was a 'leadership laboratory' in the most extreme, hostile environment on Earth.
