Today's leadership adventures unfold in the rugged terrain of business, and who better than Lewis and Clark to lead us through its toughest challenges?

If life is an adventure, no one will ever live it more fully than Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the rumored Northwest Passage, Lewis and Clark instead discovered a seemingly endless land whose very existence foretold a future America infinitely different from what had been imagined. May 2004 marks the beginning of a two-and-a-half year bicentennial celebration of their incredible journey and its significance to the history of America.

Against staggering odds, these unique men inspired such absolute loyalty in each other and in their group that they are still widely regarded as the most successful leadership team in American history. Their story resonates with business leaders of our time because they had to:

Think strategically
Make tough and timely decisions
Surround themselves with good people
Manage resources
Motivate the team
Deal with different cultures
Assimilate information from many sources
Balance long-term goals against short-term realities
Learn from their mistakes
Try new approaches

Most importantly, they had to persevere and change course in the face of adversity. Their lessons will inspire business leaders to take their teams to new adventures of great discovery.

Editorial Reviews

Review

.."Imagine a Ken Burns documentary with insightful analysis from Jack Welch, and you have a sense of the infomative & engaging approach Uldrich utilizes." "- Executive Insider "

"Latching onto the idea that everything old is new again, Uldrich, a former naval officer and author of "The Next Big Thing Is Really Small," puts forth Lewis and Clark as two shining examples of all that is right with leadership and management. Spotlighting the pair's many strong points, from people skills and future-thinking capabilities to optimism and an ability to see the forest as well as the trees, Uldrich (drawing on what has obviously been years of extensive research) points to modern-day companies like Coca-Cola, General Electric and DaimlerChrysler as entities that could all learn something from Lewis and Clark. Whether the "project" is a westward expedition or a hostile corporate takeover, Uldrich makes the case that the past isn't so different from the present--or from the future. The parallels between these men and today's leaders are intriguing and well thought out. For corporate types looking for tips, there is certainly plenty to digest, even if the narrative goes deeper into the history of the westward exploration than is needed for a management primer. The overriding messages are clear: mentor and be mentored; find a way to balance the task at hand with the overall future vision; maintain a confident and optimistic approach from the beginning. " " Publisher's Weekly "

"Mr.Uldrich brings the journey alive, [..] Lewis & Clark as they make crucial leadership decisions that led to the expedition's ultimate success." - "Dallas Morning News "

A truly unique discovery among business books

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2009

The book - "Into the Unknown" - is part business guide and part history book. Author Jack Uldrich does an excellent job of chronicling the trials and tribulations of pioneer explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark as they traversed into the American Northwest for nearly three years. Uldrich than uses that historical perspective to develop 10 leadership lessons that are applicable to business. Use of such a counterintuitive, non-obvious leadership team is one of the reasons why Soundview recommends this book. Additionally, the author uses the perilous journey of Lewis and Clark to parallel the seeming wilderness and ferocity that sometimes describes modern markets. This is definitely a worthwhile endeavor for any business leader who's hungry for their next discovery or adventure.

Time Well Spent

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2004

I recently read Jack Uldrich's previous book, The Next Big Thing is Realy Small: How Nanotechnology Will Change the Future of Your Business, and I enjoyed it so much that I asked Amazon.com to alert me when his next book came out. I was a little surprised when I received an email from Amazon.com telling me that his next book was about Lewis & Clark (I was expecting and hoping for another high-tech book.) Nevertheless, I decided to give it a read (it's a quick read) and was thoroughly delighted with it. In fact, in many ways, it was even better than his first book. Uldrich is the rare business consultant--he understands that regardless of how good or exciting new emerging technologies are, they are worthless in the hands of businesses or organizations that don't have good, strong, capable leaders. I strongly encourage any business leader or executive who is struggling to lead their organization through these technologicaly-challenging times to spend an evening with this book. I guarantee you that it will be time well spent.

Timeless Leadership Lessons

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2004

Using the 2 ½ year adventure into the American Northwest as a backdrop, Jack Uldrich offers leaders ten timeless lessons.
Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase, Lewis and Clark discovered an endless land whose very existence foretold the country's future America.
May, 2004 begins a bicentennial celebration of their incredible journey. Against staggering odds, these unique men inspired such absolute loyalty that they are regarded by many as the most successful leadership team in American history.

Their story resonates with us because they had to:

1. Think strategically
2. Make tough and timely decisions
3. Surround themselves with good people
4. Manage resources
5. Motivate the team
6. Deal with different cultures
7. Assimilate information from many sources
8. Balance long-term goals against short-term realities
9. Learn from their mistakes
10. Try new approaches.
Lewis and Clark lead their team into the unknown. They preserved through crises, course changes and insurmountable adversity. They persevered. Their lessons will inspire all of us to lead our teams on discovery adventures.

Lewis & Clark -- Still Relevant!

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2004

As a self admitted fan of Lewis and Clark, I was somewhat reluctant to purchase this book. However, after reading it, I am glad I did. Uldrich takes an utterly unique approach to their incredible journey. Rather than simply retelling the story of the Corps of Discovery as so many authors have done, the author instead dissects their journey from the prospective of leadership. I found myself in complete agreement with his ten leadership principles and the ancedotes he uses are wonderful. His method of weaving in real-world examples drives home the point that Lewis and Clark are still relevant after 200 years. If I have a criticism, it is this ... I think the author should have had a chapter devoted to the diplomatic skills of Lewis and Clark. All told, I strongly recommend this book.
