How many people did it take to land the Apollo 11 team on the moon?
400,000!
In her book, Team Moon, Catherine Thimmesh highlights the diverse roles essential to the mission.
From the seamstress who put together twenty-two layers of fabric for each space suit to the engineers who created a special heat shield to protect the capsule during its fiery reentry.
It took flight directors, camera designers, software experts, suit testers, telescope crew, aerospace technicians, photo developers, engineers, and navigators.
Because of a team of 400,000 people, Neil Armstrong has a legacy.
Leaving a legacy will require a team. There are only two more days to join our 2025 Succession Planning For Impact Mastermind.

P.S. The story of half a billion people gathering in front of their TV sets to watch Apollo 11’s attempt to put a man on the moon for the first time in all of history is really the story of 400,000 people.
Maybe your team won’t be as big, but leaving a legacy business cannot be achieved alone.
We will meet together online twice monthly, once in the group and one private half-hour session with me.
