Good illustrations of handling team conflict and formulating resolutions plus an intensive study in communication skills and break-downs in communication. Dealing with stress and making critical decisions when your life is on the line. Jim Lovell’s (Tom Hanks) leadership skills and the parallels with Ernest Shackelton would make a fascinating study in itself. The NASA team and family members listened in rapt attention as communication was lost with the Apollo 13 capsule as it attempted to survive a fiery re-entry through the earth's atmosphere. A collective sigh of relief was breathed when Lovell's voice came across the radio as the capsule safely splashed down near the recovery ship. Three tired, chilled astronauts boarded the U.S.S. Iwo Jima on April 17, six days after originally starting their ill-fated mission. As commander of the mission, Lovell was a great example of a leader putting rational problem- solving into action. After identifying the problem, he and the NASA team had to evaluate and choose alternatives. Lovell not only effectively dealt with conflict between Haise and Swigert as tension ran high, he also battled his own disappointment over the failed mission. He encouraged his team to establish and focus on a new goal -- a safe return to earth. Apollo 13 starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, and Ed Harris (1995).
