Space exploration was not easily accomplished. One failed attempt after another proved this was not a task for the weak. Dr. Charles J. Pellerin was blamed for "leadership shortfall". All because of a teeny, tiny, little mishap. Luckily, he was able to redeem himself by fixing the telescope. Thanks to this advancement, he decided to look into forming better team relationships.

This was a very interesting book that included great tips for interacting with others. I think this would be especially helpful for business owners. (
