Author: Jon S. Rennie July 29, 2023 Duration: 43:14
Today, I’m joined by Michael Ciannilli, and we're talking about NASA Lessons Learned. Mike leads NASA’s Apollo, Challenger, Columbia Lessons Learned Program, directing and developing a wide array of activities to share the Agency’s lessons learned to help powerfully influence NASA’s mission success. Previously, Mike served as the NASA Test Director for the Space Shuttle Program, where he lead the entire launch team through space shuttle launch countdown activities and was responsible for the processing oversight of the space shuttle orbiters and ground support systems. I’m excited to talk to him about the idea of teaching hard-fought lessons of the past to new generations of employees.

For anyone who’s ever felt that leadership advice can be too theoretical or disconnected from reality, Deep Leadership offers a grounded alternative. Host Jon S. Rennie operates from a simple, powerful belief: “Leadership is a People Business.” This isn’t about abstract concepts; it’s about the tangible, often messy work of guiding teams and organizations. Jon brings a unique perspective shaped by his time as a Cold War Submarine Officer and over two decades leading within Corporate America before founding his own manufacturing company. In each episode, he translates that extensive experience into practical, actionable insights you can apply immediately. The conversations here delve into the core of what makes leadership work-or fail-across business, culture, and society. You’ll hear from Jon and a variety of expert guests as they explore the philosophical and practical dimensions of guiding people, discussing everything from daily management challenges to broader cultural forces that shape how we work. This podcast is built on the conviction that leadership matters profoundly, and that getting it right requires depth, reflection, and a relentless focus on the human element. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that cut through the noise and get to the heart of leading well.
