BACKGROUND

"Like millions, perhaps billions, my eyes were glued to the screen as the rescue capsule brought the first Chilean miner to the surface to see his wife and children for the first time in 69 days.

In spite of all the media attention and the emotionally charged atmosphere, what really struck me was something I did not expect to see. When the first rescue worker descended the shaft and emerged from the capsule to greet the 33 trapped men, I was floored by how disciplined, organized, strong, and in good spirits the miners appeared to be. Every single one of them.

And no, they weren’t just putting on a show for the cameras. After 69 days trapped in that hell-hole, I seriously doubt that was even possible.

Don’t forget, not only were these men trapped under a half mile of rock in 90+ degree heat for more than two months, but for the first 17 days after the mine collapsed, they subsisted on just two days of food and water without a hint that anyone even suspected they had survived the cave-in.

But they organized, supported each other, and in my mind, demonstrated the very best of what the human race is capable of doing under extremely challenging conditions. Here are 4 leadership lessons we can all learn from these 33 extraordinary men:
Humans really are at their best under extreme adversity. We need look no further than the poise and control of all those miners when they greeted the first person they’d set eyes on in 69 days to know that humans have a surprising ability to pull together and do amazing things under extraordinarily challenging conditions. Even in business, challenges bring out the best in us.
Leadership, management, and organization are not just business concepts. They’re human concepts, terms that attempt to capture how men and women uniquely organize in groups or teams to take on extraordinary challenges, even the chaos of the physical world. We attempt to replicate these concepts in the business world, but they occurred first in nature.
Embracing emotion aids survival. All the hugging, kissing, and crying by almost everyone present throughout the ordeal, including Chile’s president and the rescue workers, wasn’t unique to this extraordinary event. I’ve spent time in South America, including Chile, and the people are very open, comfortable, and in touch with their emotions. I think that contributed to the miner’s survival. Feelings are our warning and guidance systems. I wonder if corporate America’s outwardly stoic nature, especially with respect to emotion, is success-limiting behavior.
Democratic organizations or “social collectives” where everyone has a voice are inherently problematic. Not to mention they would fall completely apart in times of crisis, which all companies face. Had it been every man for himself instead of shift leader Luis Urzua (pictured with Chile President Sebastian Pinera) taking control, the miners would never have survived. As Jena McGregor explains in her Washington Post column:

“Immediately after the miners became trapped, Urzua reportedly got all of them to share in the sacrifice by rationing their two-day supply of food to last 17 days–when they were finally discovered–and to eat their food together at the same time. He crafted a disciplined structure to their subterranean lives, setting up orderly work shifts and creating a map of the miners’ topography to help rescuers. And he appealed to his compatriots’ emotional needs, encouraging miners to talk on camera to their families, serving as a “calming” presence …”

Bottom line: While not a “leadership lesson” per se, I’d be remiss if I didn’t call attention to the flawless execution of every stage of the rescue operation. It was truly impressive. And you know what? Not only did I find this entire experience inspiring, but knowing that there are unheralded leaders like Urzua scattered around the globe fills me with hope and optimism for all of us."

One cannot but reflect over the recent incident that brought Chile to global attention for the past 70days.
The resilience of the trapped miners, their resolved will to survive and the resolute response of the whole nation and the government to rescue all the 33 miners at all cost are just enough lessons for us in this country to learn from.

The rescue operation was flawlessly executed without any recorded causality.

I really think we need to learn from the incident as individuals and as a nation.

IF IT WERE TO BE IN NIGERIA

If the same incident would have happened in this country I guess thousands of excuses would have been given.

Oh! we lack the Technological know-how to rescue the miners.

National Assembly would need to pass a "Emergency Rescue Budget"

Rescue committee to be headed by a Pastor/Alfa with members from all Geo-political zones would have been inaugurated.

In fact by the time we finish with our usual nonsense, the trapped miners would have passed away. Our government would then close the site, plant flowers there as memorial and still award contract for the beatification of the memorial !

May God help NIGERIA.



Oh! MEND

The families of the trapped miners and all the Chileans did not give up on them and camped at the site all through their ordeal.

@ Mr. Christpher

Who appointed Save Nigeria Group as our surrogates

Its a pity the Save Nigeria Group is fast losing focus

When a supposedly referee meant to check and critique the activities of the players stars to sing praise of a particular player, and offers his whistle to the player, then every other player would be left with no option but to invite their branded and preferred referees.

Save Nigeria Group would do better to enlighten Nigerians on the need to vote and ensure their votes count, and other relevant activities to empower Nigerian voters, rather than nominating aspirants or candidates for the presidency

Lord be Merciful ! !! !!

Come to think of it, this country is in a deep financial/wealth misappropriation.
If an MD of a bank because of her privileged position to depositors and shareholders hard earn monies could help herself to such wealth as listed on the Madam's assets sheets, only God can tell of politicians like Councilors, Legislators, Governors, e.t.c who are occupying privileged positions to access our commonwealth unbridled?

Lord have mercy! !! !!!

This country really needs a surgical blade
