How leaders should manage failure? - a great anecdote by our missile man
Question: could you give an example from your own experience of how leaders should manage failure? kalam: let me tell you about my experience. in 1973 i became the project director of india s satellite launch vehicle program commonly called the slv3. our goal was to put india s rohini satellite into orbit by 1980. i was given funds and human resources but was told clearly that by 1980 we had to launch the satellite into space. thousands of people worked together in scientific and technical teams towards that goal. by 1979 i think the month was august we thought we were ready. as the project director i went to the control center for the launch. at four minutes before the satellite launch the computer began to go through the checklist of items that needed to be checked. one minute later the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed that some control components were not in order. my experts i had four or five of them with me told me not to worry; they had done their calculations and there was enough reserve fuel. so i bypassed the computer switched to manual mode and launched the rocket. in the first stage everything worked fine. in the second stage a problem developed. instead of the satellite going into orbit the whole rocket system plunged into the bay of bengal . it was a big failure. that day the chairman of the indian space research organization prof. satish d hawan had called a press conference. the launch was at 7:00 am and the press conference where journalists from around the world were present was at 7:45 am at isros satellite launch range in sriharikota in andhra pradesh in southern india . prof. dhawan the leader of the organization conducted the press conference himself. he took responsibility for the failure he said that the team had worked very hard but that it needed more technological support. he assured the media that in another year the team would definitely succeed.. now i was the project director and it was my failure but instead he took responsibility for the failure as chairman of the organization. the next year in july 1980 we tried again to launch the satellite and this time we succeeded. the whole nation was jubilant. again there was a press conference. prof. dhawan called me aside and told me you conduct the press conference today. i learned a very important lesson that day. when failure occurred the leader of the organization owned that failure. when success came he gave it to his team. the best management lesson i have learned did not come to me from reading a book; it came from that experience.

Corporate joke!!
While joining new ceo met with the previous ceo who privately gave him 3envelopes. open these in case you cant solve a problem he said. six months later sales took a downturn. about at his wits end he remembered the envelopes. he took out the 1st envelope. it read blame your predecessor. the ceo tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous ceo. the press responded positively sales began to pick up and the problem was resolved. about a year later the company was again experiencing dip in sales. having learned the ceo quickly opened 2nd envelope. the message read reorganize. he did and the company quickly rebounded. after many profitable quarters the company once again fell on difficult times. the ceo quickly opened the 3rd envelope. the message said prepare three envelopes.
