Show Notes
On today's show, we will continue to the second part of a double episode on Leadership Lessons from the Lewis Clark Expedition. I brought back Jeff Ton to continue the story of the Corps of Discovery and their incredible journey of exploration in the American West in the early 1800s.
Last week, we talked about how the expedition had traveled up Missouri and spent their first winter at Fort Mandan on the Great Plains. This week, we follow the expedition as they portage around the Great Falls of Missouri, ascend the Rocky Mountains, travel down the Columbia to the Pacific Ocean and return to St. Louis. Note that this episode is much more than a history lesson, as we follow the adventures of the expedition, we will periodically pause to reflect on leadership lessons and the decision making of the leaders.
Jeff teaches leadership to IT professionals and is a great storyteller. He’s an expert on the Lewis & Clark, having personally traveled much of the trail.
