In this new twist on a topic of perennial interest, Joe MacInnis shows
how the leadership traits forged in extraordinary circumstances are
transferrable to our everyday lives. Simply put, this is a handbook for
building character.
Some people are born leaders. The rest of us find ourselves in positions
where leadership is required. Self-described "accidental leader" Dr. Joe
MacInnis found himself in such a situation: deep beneath the ice of the
Arctic Ocean. Starting with his undersea explorations, this physician,
scientist, author and motivational speaker shares an accessible--and
obtainable--list of leadership traits inspired by his own journey and
the icons he's learned from over the years. Deep Leadership is an
eminently digestible book with short lessons and anecdotes. Think
Rework meets Iacocca. MacInnis gives the reader a primer to navigate
his or her own path toward leadership, including such practices as
keeping a journal, building a library and finding mentors.
