Michael Dell's advice to leaders: 'If you don't have a crisis, make one'

Image
  That's according to Dell Technologies CEO and founder Michael Dell, who recently shared his thoughts on dealing in crises on the " David Senra " podcast.  Dell Technologies has faced its fair share of crises in its 40-year existence. The   dot-com bubble burst , the   2008 financial crisis , and the   rise of mobile technology   all challenged the technology company. There have been good times, too. During those periods, a leader shouldn't act differently, Dell said on the podcast. Dell shared one of his leadership mantras: "If you don't have a crisis, make one." "We have to change or we're going to go out of business," Dell said. "You get people excited, motivated, and to drive the necessary change." Being adaptive is a question of leadership, Dell said. He said asked questions like: "How do you organize the team and people to actually go and get this thing done. How do you motivate them? How do you give them the right to...

SpaceX’s megarocket finds redemption after explosive failures. But time may be running out

Image
SpaceX’s luck appears to be turning, as the company notched a second straight   successful test flight   of the Starship launch system — the most powerful rocket ever constructed — on Monday evening. The test mission, which kicked off around 7:23 p.m. ET at SpaceX’s facilities in South Texas, marked the final showing for Starship Version 2, or V2, which SpaceX will now retire in favor of another, slightly larger and more powerful prototype called Version 3. The V2 test campaign began in January and was marked by a string of explosive, in-flight failures — with one vehicle exploding during a ground test and three others erupting into flames mid-flight — followed by a surprising redemption arc. Despite recent successes, however, SpaceX has a long way to go before Starship is ready to set out on an operational mission. And the plans for this vehicle are nothing less than transformational: SpaceX CEO Elon wants Starship to carry humans to Mars for the first time. NASA also plans t...

SpaceX completes 11th test flight of its Starship rocket

Image
Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched its 11th Starship rocket from Texas on Monday and landed it in the Indian Ocean, the last flight before the company begins test-launching a new version of the giant rocket outfitted with more features for moon and Mars missions. Starship, which includes the Starship upper stage stacked atop its Super Heavy booster, launched at 6:23 p.m. CT from SpaceX’s Starbase facilities. After sending the Starship stage to space, Super Heavy returned for a soft water landing in the Gulf of Mexico roughly 10 minutes after liftoff. Its last mission, in August, ended a streak of testing failures earlier this year. Monday’s flight was similar to the previous one, again deploying a batch of mock Starlink satellites, briefly re-lighting its engines in space and testing new heat shield tiles during its blazing hot return from space before splashing down west of Australia. Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy said on X the mission was “another major step toward landing Americans ...
