Gene Kranz "Tough and Competent" Special Event | Space Center Houston

Our November Thought Leader Series, presented by UTMB Health, features NASA legend Eugene “Gene” Kranz. Kranz discusses his new book, “Tough and Competent: Leadership and Team Chemistry,” with William Harris, President and CEO of Space Center Houston. In a lively conversation, they focus on Kranz’s role leading the flight controllers who returned the damaged Apollo 13 spaceship safely back to Earth-and how leadership and team chemistry are essential ingredients to master risk, and control and mitigate issues in a crisis environment.

How did I not know Mr. Kranz has a new book out?!

[@evilbilla]

I hope he knows with the failures we have had comes great triumph as we have not only gone to the Moon and back but to far away galaxies with the technology we have created and achieved. Hubble has opened our eyes to the vastness of space. We are going to mars so Mr kranz thank you To infinity and beyond. You have honored our great country and space program like no other don't ever think you didn't.
