John Murray Press Optimizing Luck What The Passion To Succeed In Space Can Teach Business Leaders On Earth by Terry Teays
Charged with running Science Operations for NASA and playing an integral part in one of the world's most successful international astronomy satellite projects, Meylan and Teays share their first-hand experience of how leaders and managers, by example and practice, can establish and reinforce luck-optimizing habits of behaviour with direct reports, peers and team mates, and across the organization. In this in-depth business profile, the authors take an analytical approach to understanding what it takes to truly succeed in business regardless of changing circumstances, competitive interference, near-disastrous breakdowns in processes, and more than the occasional human failing.
