Von brauns management style

He encouraged everyone to bring him problems, even ones without solutions. So
they could be fixed.

Wow. That's amazing.

If he predicted we'd lose another shuttle, that means he must have been
alive at the time of Challenger or had predicted that shuttle's demise also.

Since he died in 1977 I can only assume he predicted both.

What else did he predict pray tell?

He is still alive or was a few months ago, He does book signings in florida.
Guenter is a exceptional person.

Günter is not Von Braun. Your post as usual wasn't clear who you were
talking about.

Sorry if it wasnt clear. Obviously I was talking about Guenter predicting
another lost vehicle and crew.

And it would be easy to read from your post that the predicted cause
was "From a magazine article". The pen is mightier than the sword!

Did you know that when von Braun was at Marshall, he made an effort to
try to go meet and talk with every employee personally?! He could of
had them come to his office, but no he went to them!

I hadnt heard that but a open door policy is best. If they had had that at the
company I used to work for it would likely still be in business.

to ignore the darker sides of certain "management styles" need not
read any further.)

He may have done many wonderful things, but I'd consider this thread
incomplete without posting a reminder of how Wernher's "personal
touch" with the worker bees stretches back long before his days at
Marshall:

"...there is at least one document _ a letter _ in which von Braun
discusses a trip to the Buchenwald concentration camp, where he
apparently spoke to the commandant about obtaining more skilled
laborers to use at Mittelwerk."

made the sensational claim that:

No, no...all he did was take a lot of smoke breaks. :-)
