New Heights: India’s Space Odyssey

Failures

ISRO chairman S Somanath said failures are a very natural part of the space sector but no individual is penalised for it at ISRO

Somnath said even he had faced failures several times, but never got criticised for it by his seniors

We make sure that no single individual is penalised for failures because no decision is made by a single individual

Collective decision-making

There is a clear understanding that one person cannot understand everything which leads to collective decision-making

You have to give confidence to the people who have the courage to propose new things and support them. Once you do that, you can do wonders in any organisation
