There’s a lot of talk about management techniques.
A hell of a lot.
And while many are good … a huge amount take something that could be about 10 pages long, and stretch it into a book that is about 300 pages.
Recently I read an article about management that I thought was amazing.
Not just because it wasn’t meant to be about that subject, but because it highlighted that great management has nothing to do with age but everything to do with leadership, trust, empowerment and delegation.
It’s the story behind the disastrous Apollo 13 space mission.
You should read it, if only for the story that leads up to the last line:
“If you spend your time thinking about the crew dying, you’re only going to make that eventuality more likely.”
Read it here. Happy weekend.
