Of all the stories Dr. Kalam, ex-President of India, relates as the most inspiring. Dr. Kalam highlighted an important quality of leadership by giving the example of his ex-boss, Dr. Satish Dhawan, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Back then, Dr. Kalam was the project director for SLV-3, India’s satellite launch program.
In August 1979, when the first SLV-3 launch was a failure, Dr. Dhawan called a press conference to accept responsibility for it.
The following year, the satellite launch was successful; this time, he asked Dr. Kalam to address the press conference, rather than seeking the limelight himself.
A good leader, Dr. Kalam noted, takes responsibility for failure and passes the credit for success to his team.
As managers, we often do exactly the opposite. A leader must inspire his team to loyalty and commitment.
What have we done in the past in a successful situation and when we faced a failure ?
