Seventy three seconds into the mission, the Challenger exploded, killing the entire crew.
Team building and improving team performance are the most often spoken about challenges in all types and size of business.
You won’t be surprised to know that if you have one negative or non-performing person in a team, it will take five positive people to overcome their energy. And it doesn’t have to be that way.
We don’t actually have to like the people we work with; liking comes second. If we are willing to take time to understand our fellow team members’ strengths and talents first, an amazing thing happens – we get over not ‘liking’ them; start to respect their talents and strengths, and then we start to like them.
Teams can be an endless source of complaining, back-stabbing and blame or they can be the most amazing sources of energy, ideas, motivation and passion. Team building is the key to creating positive, self-managing teams.
If you have a problem team or a problem leader, check out The Human Element course ware, The Cornerstone (3 days) or Organization Solutions (2 days). We need challengers and questioners to prevent disasters and doom at work.

The commission not only found fault with a failed sealant ring but also with the officials at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) who allowed the shuttle launch to take place despite concerns voiced by NASA engineers.
The entire space shuttle program was grounded during the Space Shuttle Challenger Commission’s investigation and did not resume flying until shuttle designers made several technical modifications and NASA management implemented stricter regulations regarding quality control and safety.
