Imperfection in leadership isn’t failure—it’s growth. Embrace vulnerability, courage, and grace to lead authentically and inspire wholehearted connection.

In Leading at the Edge, Dennis Perkins shares how Ernest Shackleton’s doomed Antarctic expedition became a masterclass in leadership.

His lessons—combined with insights from thinkers like Simon Sinek, Brené Brown, and Jim Collins—show that true leadership is about character, resilience, and care.
