In this short video, Dr. Wayne Pernell (Speaker A) explains a leadership development workshop designed for older, "old‑school" engineering and industrial leaders. He describes how the workshop brings these veteran managers into a team‑building setting that uses an adversity‑simulation exercise: participants imagine they have survived a plane crash and must work in small groups to decide which salvaged items (e.g., a gun, a bottle of whiskey, a plastic raincoat) to keep for survival. The activity is intended to surface leadership styles, improve collaboration, and practice decision‑making under pressure, thereby translating the experience of adversity into actionable leadership insights for senior engineering teams.
