During my polar journeys my teams have to sustain themselves for weeks on end – my South Pole and beyond journey was 71 days!
Isolated from the outside world we must take all the supplies we need; food, fuel, shelter, emergency equipment, spare clothing and much more. Once we load our sledges up with this mountain of supplies we then have to physically haul our loads.
Too much weight equals less glide for the sledge and we won’t complete our journey before the short polar season ends, or worse still we will move too slow to even reach our objective. Excess weight does not just drain energy, by slowing forward momentum it stifles motivation, eats away at self-belief and limits the ability to grasp opportunities.
How much excess weight are you carrying in your team or organisation?
