The Pathfinder team was faced with an awesome challenge: deliver a scientific payload to the surface of Mars for less than $200 million. The only previously successful mission had cost 15 times more and taken twice as long. By evolving a powerful set of management principles, spacecraft manager Brian Muirhead led his team to accomplish their difficult mission for less than it cost to produce the movie Titanic. High-Velocity Leadership tells the story of the spectacular results achieved by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Pathfinder Team who ran their mission to Mars as a high-performance business. Revealing his never-before-told inside stories. Muirhead describes the "glue and grease" management principles and the leadership style he applied to hold the project together trader intense pressure.
