Navigating the Impossible

World-record endurance athlete and professional leadership coach Jason Caldwell draws on his amazing experiences to show how anyone can build and lead teams that accomplish incredible things.Thirty-five days, 14 hours, and 3 minutes. That''s how long it took Jason Caldwell and the crew of the American Spirit to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean during the 2016 Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge--or, as it''s known to those who attempt it, "The World''s Toughest Row." They not only succeeded but set a world record. This was an extraordinary team effort. And that''s what this book is about.
