Future of Work

Learning about leadership from an ancient general

Latvia's Valdis Nilovs celebrates in front of a statue of ancient king Leonidas after completing the Spartathlon race, in Sparta, September 27, 2014. From a daring attempt by a group of friends to one of the most iconic endurance races in the world, the 246-km Spartathlon has defied the downturn in Greek sports, drawing record numbers as ultra marathons become more popular. In a country that has seen international events wiped off the calendar amid a ravaging economic crisis, this race has captured the imagination of runners the world over making it a rare example of how to succeed in difficult financial times.
