Mike Ciannilli recently joined the Deep Leadership podcast to discuss NASA’s Lessons Learned and the importance of passing hard-fought knowledge from one generation of employees to the next. Drawing from decades at NASA, Ciannilli explores how organizations can preserve lessons from the past and use them to strengthen leadership, decision-making, and future success.
Ciannilli leads NASA’s Apollo, Challenger, Columbia Lessons Learned Program, where his work focuses on sharing lessons from some of the most consequential moments in the agency’s history. Previously, as a NASA Test Director for the Space Shuttle Program, he led launch teams through shuttle countdown activities and oversaw the processing of orbiters and ground support systems. On Deep Leadership, Ciannilli brings those experiences together to examine why institutional knowledge matters and how leaders can ensure critical lessons continue to influence new generations rather than disappearing as organizations evolve.
For audiences, Ciannilli translates extraordinary experiences from NASA into practical lessons about leadership, organizational learning, risk, communication, and building teams prepared for what comes next.
