Strategic Leadership Session 5

Challenger Case Study

The Challenger case study shows not just effective strategic leadership things in an organisation, but more importantly opposite, the ineffective strategic leadership and its outcomes. The collaboration, moral obligation, two way communication between staff and management and etc are the key things going towards effective strategic leadership. As case study shows these were the tools NASA and Morton Thiokol were missing and as a result it lead to the failure of the mission.

This is the link to the one of the articles available online with clear, short description of the Challenger launch. http://www.aerospaceguide.net/spaceshuttle/challenger_disaster.html
