dc.description.abstractBackground Leadership has been a subject of sustained interest throughout human history and is recognised as a complex, multidimensional competence essential to the organisation and effectiveness of teams. In nursing, effective leadership plays a key role in ensuring the quality and safety of care and in maintaining favourable practice environments. Aim To conduct a reflective analysis of the leadership demonstrated by Sir Ernest Shackleton during the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914–1917), commonly known as the Endurance expedition, exploring how his servant and transformational leadership behaviours, combined with emotional intelligence, can inform nursing leadership and contribute to team management in complex settings. Methods Theoretical and conceptual reflective analysis study. Results The analysis of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s leadership reveals a strong presence of characteristics associated with servant leadership, transformational leadership, and emotional intelligence. These attributes were critical in fostering group cohesion, motivation, and resilience, ultimately ensuring the survival of the entire team under extreme conditions. Discussion The integration of Shackleton’s leadership traits — drawing on servant leadership, transformational leadership, and emotional intelligence — offers an enriched perspective for nursing practice. It improves understanding of leadership dynamics in complex contexts and reinforces the relevance of training focused on developing effective nursing leaders. Conclusion Investing in emotional intelligence and leadership skills development is essential for creating supportive work environments and ensuring the delivery of high-quality, safe care. Historical examples such as Shackleton’s offer valuable pedagogical and reflective tools for cultivating leadership in nursing.eng
