- Charles Elachi - Imagine tackling problems that relatively few others would be able to fully understand, much less solve. Charles Elachi shares how he guides teams at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to do exactly that. He understands the importance of having fun even when the work is hard and demanding. He describes the work environment as a "serious playground." Elachi views innovation as rooted in taking risks and learning from failures. His message is "failure is going to happen." The key is to learn from it and move on. His hero is Teddy Roosevelt who thought it was better to try and even fail once in a while than "stay in the twilight" and not dare to do anything.
