 Teamwork

 As cliche as it sounds, nothing is possible without teamwork.

 Akshay Kumar outs Sonakshi Sinha’s character, a team member of the mission, at first
since her dream was to only gain experience at ISRO and eventually work for NASA.
 But, soon after realising her mistake she returns back with full conviction and commitment
towards working for the goal of the mission and not just for her own motives.
 A team that is always in-sync towards achieving the goals of the organisation is critical for
success.
 Possibilities – Perseverance – Preparation

 Impossible has at least one possible in it. This is the philosophy of the movie.
 Going to Mars is impossible when you don’t have a rocket power that can take you there.
 Vidya Balan was able to see possibilities, gauge how that could be done.
 Passion to make possibilities a reality is perseverance. 
 When Vidya Balan first made that pitch to Akshay Kumar, he mocked her.
 Vidya made sure that her argument is heard and understood.
 She did not give up. Then Akshay believed in what she was saying.
 It was because of their perseverance that India could reach Mars.
Possibilities – Perseverance – Preparation

 Preparation is an underrated leadership quality. 

 When ISRO accepted their proposal and agreed to launch a mission for mars, the Director
asked for the resources they needed.
 Vidya had done the preparation. She knew what she needed to launch the mission.
 A Good Leader Listens to His Team

 Akshay Kumar’s character is always shown to stand by his team. He takes their opinions and ideas into
account without showing off his authority over them.
 The rapport he shares with Vidya Balan’s character in the movie opens up a whole new dimension in
professional relationships – one that is honest and open.
 Also, Akshay Kumar’s character is shown to be favourable to all the women in the team by helping them
balance their work and personal lives.
 He goes all out in support of his team and makes sure that they get the accolades for accomplishing the
mission at the end.
 A leader should never take sole credit for the work and should always share it with his team. At the end of
the day, it’s the teamwork that has driven the success story.
 Leaders must manage the team in such a way that each and every member’s viewpoints are taken into
account. At the same time, the success or failure of a project should always be borne by the team as a whole.
 Women Empowerment

 Mission Mangal is not just the story of India's journey to Mars, but also that of the women of India who
made this miracle possible.
 This is a story of five extraordinary women scientists who worked relentlessly towards a dream, one that
saw their country become the first to achieve what was previously considered impossible.
 Team Mission Mangal salutes the spirit of womanhood and the force that drives them to constantly reach for
and go beyond the skies.
 Since no one believed in the project, they were assigned rookie scientists. Most of them were women.
 All the excuses associated with not inducting women into a workforce like maternity, early going, family
problems were proved wrong.

 Out of the Box Thinking

 This one is my personal favorite because I believe that social life drives the way of working in
organizations.
 I myself keep deriving lessons from real life stories, and apply those lessons to the corporate way of
working.
 There were numerous such examples displayed by each team member.
 They took inspiration from simple things like Puri, switching on and off, Plastic, Sailing, Reusing leftover
food and extrapolated them to solve problems and send a satellite to Mars.
 Failure Should Not Deter Your Progress

 In the beginning, Akshay Kumar’s character meets the press to share the news of the failure of the launch of
GSLV-Fat Boy.
 The way he announces the failure by eating a ladoo bears testimony to the fact that failures don’t signify the
end of a story.
 It is indeed a stepping stone for a new beginning, to embark on your next success story.
 You should never permit failures to let you down and always stand up tall against phases of adversity.
 Even when the team does not get the desired budget for the mission, they are willing to work with what they
are allocated and achieve the mission.
 Summary

 Mission Mangal is a movie about grit, determination, and the sheer desire to achieve a goal
that everybody else believes is ‘impossible’.
 It showcases the dynamics between a leader and his team, and how a mission can be
successful with teamwork, passion and belief towards working for a common goal.
 And, while it’s a tribute to ISRO and the hardwork of all the scientists, it does impart great
leadership lessons that everyone can try to implement in their life.
