consideration for Jack. Avolio posits that
transformational leaders pay, “...special attention
to each individual’s needs for achievement and
growth by acting as a coach, mentor …”

Jack when he said, “if I had a dollar for every
time they killed me in this thing, I wouldn’t have
to work for you”

CONCLUSION
• The Movie Apollo 13 told the story of a crisis thar could have easily ended tragically. It
required transformational leaders to articulate a clear vision that would allow the
constituents to take on a leadership roles based on their experiences, needs, values, morals
and strengths.
• Through innovation and creative problem solving they were able to collaboratively work
towards their new vision of getting the astronauts home safely.
• This was successfully achieved as the leaders used idealized influence, inspirational
motivation, intellectual stimulation and individual consideration to lead constituents through
this catastrophe
“successful failure” — a failure since it never achieved its prime objective of landing on the moon. Successful
because almost every single person who worked for NASA pulled together in an astounding feat of teamwork to save the crew.
