Psychological Safety and Failing Right | A Conversation with Dr. Amy C. Edmondson | Leading Edge Discovery Podcast with Astronaut Charlie Camarda Ph.D
Guest: Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School [@harvardhbs]On Twitter | https://twitter.com/AmyCEdmondsonOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/amycedmondson/Host: Charlie Camarda Ph.DOn ITSPmagazine  👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/dr-charlie-camarda______________________Episode SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network______________________Episode IntroductionNASA and Boeing are struggling to correct mistakes which caused recurring disasters. Listen to what High Reliability Organizations need to learn to succeed.Psychological safety and understanding how to fail intelligently are the underpinnings of successful, learning organizations. Organizations and teams that can rapidly identify “weak signals” of anomalies; learn by rapid, intelligent fast failure; and adapt and correct will thrive and prevent otherwise imminent disasters. Come learn from the master, Harvard’s Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Dr. Amy C. Edmondson.______________________Watch this and other Leading Edge Discovery Podcast with Astronaut Charlie Camarda Ph.D on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelLeading Edge Discovery Podcast with Astronaut Charlie Camarda Ph.D playlist📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQZ9kSG7X7grrP_PsH3q3T3ITSPMagazine YouTube Channel📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!______________________Resources______________________For more podcast stories from the Leading Edge Podcast with Charlie Camarda, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/leading-edge-discovery-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQZ9kSG7X7grrP_PsH3q3T3

Dr. Mark Lewis explains how the US lost its leadership and what it needs to do to regain it!The United States once held a commanding lead in the field of hypersonic research. NASA and the DoD had robust X-Plane programs which explored new technology development in critical key areas like propulsion, materials, aerothermodynamics, structures, thermal control, and flight dynamics. Unfortunately, our NASA and DoD programs and funding has evaporated over the past 50 years, key research labs and wind tunnels have been closed, and our student pipeline in advanced areas of research cannot sustain the advances in other countries like China. This is the most serious threat to our security as a nation in the immediate future. Dr. Mark Lewis explains how we allowed this to happen and what steps need to be taken to regain leadership in hypersonics!______________________Watch this and other Leading Edge Discovery Podcast with Astronaut Charlie Camarda Ph.D on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelLeading Edge Discovery Podcast with Astronaut Charlie Camarda Ph.D playlist📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQZ9kSG7X7grrP_PsH3q3T3ITSPMagazine YouTube Channel📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!______________________Resources______________________For more podcast stories from the Leading Edge Podcast with Charlie Camarda, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/leading-edge-discovery-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQZ9kSG7X7grrP_PsH3q3T3

He led a hardware-software-systems-application R&D team to build the NASA's first parallel computer, the Finite-Element Machine (FEM). NASA’s FEM led the way & industry soon introduced a plethora of parallel computers which now dominate supercomputing. Olaf’s General-Purpose Parallel Solver evolved with considerable advances from FEM parallel processors to Cray Supercomputers to speed Space Shuttle SRB FEM analysis of a 54,000 DoF (degrees-of-freedom) model from hours to seconds, a performance exceeding 1 petaflop for the 1st time resulting in Cray awarding Olaf & his team with the GIGAFLOP Award at the Annual Supercomputimg Conference in 1989.______________________Watch this and other Leading Edge Discovery Podcast with Astronaut Charlie Camarda Ph.D on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelLeading Edge Discovery Podcast with Astronaut Charlie Camarda Ph.D playlist📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQZ9kSG7X7grrP_PsH3q3T3ITSPMagazine YouTube Channel📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!______________________ResourcesLife after Langley: Supercomputing: https://olaftn.com/images/LAAOlaf95RR6-8-21.mp4NASA Retirement: Lessons Learned: https://olaftn.com/NASA/Learned.html______________________For more podcast stories from the Leading Edge Podcast with Charlie Camarda, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/leading-edge-discovery-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQZ9kSG7X7grrP_PsH3q3T3

Dr. Ed Fasanella was a research engineer at NASA Langley who, against the wishes of Shuttle Program Managers, led a team of NASA researchers which developed an accurate physics-based understanding of the ballistic impact which caused the Columbia accident in only 4 months.______________________Watch this and other Leading Edge Discovery Podcast with Astronaut Charlie Camarda Ph.D on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelLeading Edge Discovery Podcast with Astronaut Charlie Camarda Ph.D playlist📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQZ9kSG7X7grrP_PsH3q3T3ITSPMagazine YouTube Channel📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!______________________Resources______________________For more podcast stories from the Leading Edge Podcast with Charlie Camarda, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/leading-edge-discovery-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQZ9kSG7X7grrP_PsH3q3T3

Dr. Michael Nemeth helps describe what a "research culture" embodies and how it differs from a sound engineering culture. He will describe an environment at NASA Research Centers like Langley in the 1980's and how that environment helped nurture some of the greatest minds which led to key knowledge discovery and technical innovations. Mike will also discuss some of the key technical challenges he and his colleagues successfully solved such as the redesign of the SRB field joint and the development of the Space Shuttle superlightweight external tank.______________________ResourcesShellBuckling.com______________________For more podcast stories from the Leading Edge Podcast with Charlie Camarda, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/leading-edge-discovery-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQZ9kSG7X7grrP_PsH3q3T3

Tune in to Leading Edge Discovery Podcast and listen to STS-114 Commander Eileen Collins’ first-hand account.Aviation pioneer and first female Shuttle Commander, Col. Eileen Collins, recounts tales from her book, “Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars”, about her journey growing up in Elmira, NY; flying heavy aircraft in the Air Force; Test Pilot School, and her eventual command of one of the most complex and demanding Space Shuttle missions ever.Listen to her recount her leadership lessons learned as she was challenged to navigate an intense emotionally-charged atmosphere post Columbia, where trust was lacking and conversations were often heated.  Working through several near misses which could have cost the lives of the crew, Eileen succeeded in accomplishing all mission objectives and gently landed Space Shuttle Discovery on the dry lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base in California on Aug. 9, 2005.______________________ResourcesSTS-114: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/archives/sts-114.htmlBook | Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars: https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/9781950994052/through-the-glass-ceiling-to-the-stars/Book Cover: http://cloud.firebrandtech.com/api/v2/img/1118/9781950994052/O______________________For more podcast stories from the Leading Edge Podcast with Charlie Camarda, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/leading-edge-discovery-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQZ9kSG7X7grrP_PsH3q3T3
