Having said that, this film is not only about leadership, but also every detail in it. Although it was deliberately arranged by the screenwriter, if you think about yourself as Lovell, the commander-in-chief, or any other character, how can you be at such a high level? It is worth remembering to play your own position in precise work to complete such a great mission and to experience it carefully.
As part of an MBA class I have to watch and write an essay over a movie every week. This week's movie is "Apollo 13", a movie that I recommend to you too.
There are many lessons one can learn from this movie. The one that I would like to point to is that great leaders ask A LOT of their team!
There is a trap of being nice and gentle and reasonable. This is not good for leaders, and ultimately not good for their teams. If one sets low goals, the accomplishments will be even lower. Nobody fulfills their true potential.
What's the balance between being too soft and being too pushy? I don't know :-) but I think the only way to find it is by asking more...
Please feel free to argue :-)
