- When something goes badly wrong, the first hour decides a lot. If you know Apollo 13, think about the moment Mission Control realized this wasn't an instrument glitch. If not, I'll describe the situation. What did the team have to settle before anyone could start solving anything?
- Who was in charge and how did everyone know?
- What was known vs. assumed?
- How were problems divided among teams?
- How was communication with the crew controlled?
- What existing habits of trust and rehearsal allowed specialists to speak up?
- How did leaders create enough calm to think without minimizing risk?
