This is a four-part presentation by Col. Mike Mullane, former astronaut, on how complacency and positive reinforcement of "taking shortcuts" can lead to catastrophes such as Challenger and Columbia. A book was also written (by Diane Vaughan) that covered similar material. As Karl and others have chronicled, **** like this has been happening at the macroeconomic level for decades.

I had to watch it twice. Very nice post. Speaks directly to honor. A must see for anyone in a leadership role. Thank you.

Thank you so much for posting this. I just watched it & forwarded it along to some of my fellow managers at work. So much food for thought there.

I am so grateful you shared this post. I sent it to my sister in big Pharma where the push to deliver blockbuster drugs is so pressuring and taking short cuts has devastating results. She said she is definitely not going to be a passenger in evaluations and board meetings.

Thanks.
