APOLLO 13
This Hartwick Classic Film Leadership CaseĀ® uses the highly acclaimed film Apollo 13, which is based on the real-life crisis on board an Apollo spacecraft that occurred on April 13, 1970. The Apollo missions had become so routine and perfect that the Apollo 13 mission generated little interest from the press - until a routine maintenance procedure caused an oxygen tank to explode, leaving the three astronauts trapped in a crippled capsule that might not ever make it back to earth. This movie describes the struggle of the astronauts and the Mission Control technicians in Houston to improvise a new set of procedures to safely return the astronauts back to earth as one crisis after another arises. This Hartwick Classic Film Leadership CaseĀ® makes us aware of just how often disruptions and discontinuities occur. How is a leader to survive and thrive in a world in which the unexpected events occur on a regular basis? This is the question that Apollo 13 raised so pointedly.
