It was pretty courageous of NASA to post that video. I doubt many public institutions would be willing to do that. Scott, great point. It was pretty courageous of NASA to post that video.

Thanks for raising it again. Worth noting but easily lost in the larger story is that the video was created as part of an organizational exercise to identify patterns and behaviors supporting and blocking innovation---in other words, NASA management was proactively looking for ways to improve and facilitating organizational self-reflection. That's a pretty good start. But I found it more remarkable that, when the exercise resulted in an illuminating (read critical) video vignette, NASA, in a blast of transparency, didn't try to keep the critique in-house---they supported broadcasting it to the world.
