We’re holding two movie clubs this fall – Apollo 13 and Twelve O’Clock High in November and hope you can join one or both of the sessions led by Chris Battell and Donna Honald. You may recall Twelve O’Clock High was our very first movie club and so we’re bringing it back for those who weren’t able to attend the first time as the leadership lessons from the movie are excellent and often cited in leadership discussions. Please read more below!

Apollo 13 – November 15, 2019 9AM – 4PM SECC

“Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” – Swigert, 9:08PM, April 13 aboard Apollo 13.

According to www.nasa.gov, “Apollo 13 was to be the third lunar landing attempt, but the mission was aborted after rupture of service module oxygen tank. Still, it was classified as a “successful failure” because of the experience gained in rescuing the crew. The mission’s spent spent upper stage successfully impacted the moon.”

How can an event so challenging, so potentially tragic be considered a “successful failure”? Great leadership. Dedicated teamwork. Skillful, resourceful problem solving. And the resilience to apply all three through life threatening circumstances.

Twelve O’Clock High – November 22, 2019 9AM – 4PM – SECC

This session will focus on situation leadership which is expertly depicted in this American war film set during World War II. The film follows the 918th Bomb Group under the leadership of Brigadier General Frank Savage and how he leads his “hard luck group” to a successful bombing mission using situational leadership. We’ll discuss what situational leadership is and why this leadership style can yield exceptional results when leading others.
