"I particularly appreciated the program's segments on leading change. Shutting down the Space Shuttle Program is an enormous task. It impacts many people, and there are numerous business, technical, and political implications. I wanted to learn how to keep our critical, talented workforce engaged and motivated during this time of profound and difficult change. In small group discussions, I learned from the experiences of other leaders—from Dubai, England, Australia, and Asia—who also struggle to keep up with and lead change in their organizations. Now I analyze and discuss all our options from a more strategic perspective, helping other managers think beyond their local concerns to consider what's best for human spaceflight within the Johnson Space Center, NASA, and for the United States."
