Leadership lessons from Flight 1549
Posted by Kalani Iwiula on Tue, Jul 07, 2009
On Sunday, I watched the 60 Minutes interview with Katie Couric and Capt. Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger. It was a repeat of the original interview done in February, but it didn't matter. It was well-worth seeing again.
In a Feb. 16 issue of Workforce Management magazine, John Hollon wrote an excellent piece about the emergency Hudson River landing. In his article, Hollon touched on three larger-than-life management lessons taken from the incident.
Lesson No. 1 - Don't ever discount the value of experience.
Lesson No. 2 - Training is important in good times and bad.
Lesson No. 3 - It's all about the team.
The article takes 5 minutes to read and offers real learning gems for leaders, managers, and team members.
Here's the article at BNET, check it out: Lessons from Flight 1549
