Gene Kranz's famous motto, "Failure is not an option!" is
well-known. Jim Lovell's credo is equally pithy yet powerful:
"You gotta make things happen!" In this joint presentation
from two of the most renowned space program pioneers,
Kranz, Apollo 13's flight director, and Lovell, commander
of the Apollo 13 mission, discuss and define teamwork as it
applies to audiences. Together, these respected icons explain
how competence, perseverance, and leadership combine to
APOLLO 13:A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE
assure ultimate victory in any circumstance. Be it in a crisis
situation or an ordinary day at the office, this dynamic team
emphasizes the importance of control in communication
and individual responsibility. For both men, who began
their careers at the very beginning of the technological age,
success as a unit is intertwined with focused leadership, trust
and values, motivation, and the ability to understand that
there is no achievement without risk.
