How do you make critical decisions when failure isn’t an option—and time is running out? In this episode of PoolSide, we sit down with Jim Wetherbee, the only American astronaut to have commanded five missions in space, and is the only person to have landed the Space Shuttle five times. He is also the author of Controlling Risk—In a Dangerous World. Drawing on decades of experience in high-risk environments—from the cockpit of a Navy jet to the edge of Earth’s atmosphere—Jim shares his powerful framework for Operational Excellence and explains some of the Ten Adverse Characteristics that are commonly in place in organizations just prior to experiencing a major disaster or several minor accidents.

Whether you lead a loss control team, are executive director of a pool, or are looking for ways to train your members in accident prevention, this conversation will reshape how can help any organization operate safer, smarter, and more effectively.
