Lithium Ion Battery fire prompts Delta flight to make an emergency landing
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a battery fire onboard a Delta Air Lines Boeing 757 flying from Atlanta to Fort Lauderdale prompted an emergency landing in Fort Meyers, Florida, Monday morning. Flight 1334 was flying with 191 people onboard when the crew reported smoke in the cabin, according to the FAA. 'Flight attendants worked quickly to extinguish a probable burning personal battery belonging to a customer while pilots followed procedures to safely divert the flight,' a Delta spokesperson said in a statement. The FAA allows most consumer personal electronic devices with lithium-ion batteries in checked and carry-on luggage. However, spare batteries are only allowed in bags passengers take into the cabin with them. 'The backpack has been contained. We think it was a lithium battery that caused the smoke and the fire,' the pilot radioed to firefighters on the ground at Fort Meyers airport, according to a recording by 'It's in a containment bag. No smoke in the cabin at this point. No active fire.' Planes carry fireproof containment bags where burning batteries can be isolated until landing. No injuries were reported, according to the airline. 'We appreciate the quick work and actions by our people to follow their training, and we apologize to our customers for the delay in their travels,' the Delta spokesperson said.

The Three-Question Leadership Test
Business persons talking in the office Do you think you know your organization? Do you know who's who and who does what? Just what do you know about the personal aspects of the lives of the people who surround you? If these things don't matter to you – or at least to any extent – please just stop reading here. This will neither interest nor amuse you. If, on the other hand, I've aroused your interest, here comes a lesson from the 'What-They-Didn't-Teach-You-In-Business-School' Primer. The Leadership Test Backstory From 2003 to 2018, I taught a graduate leadership course at Fairleigh Dickinson University's Metro Campus in Teaneck/Hackensack, New Jersey. For the most part, students were well into their careers: seeking advancement through advanced degrees while working full time and raising families. There were the younger, twenty-somethings, too, and an occasional sixty-something grandpa who just couldn't imagine not being a student. Once the course was under way for a couple of weeks, I would start a class by announcing a three-question 'test', which made everyone nervous because I was known for not giving tests, in favor of performance-based evidence of growth. In any event, on my instructions, everyone took out a blank sheet of paper and braced for the test. And here it was, three simple questions. Leadership Question #1 What is the name of the president of this university? Answer: J. Michael Adama (Michael, universally beloved, died in 2012.) Range of correct answers: 50% to 88%. Leadership Question #2 What is the name of the person sitting next to you? Answer: Varied, of course. Range of correct answers: 72% to 93%. Leadership Question #3 What is the name of the guy at the front security desk in this building? Answer: Carmine. Range of correct answers: 0% to 9%. That's right: Damn near nobody. So I offered a bonus extra credit question: Tell me something else about any of the three of them. Range of correct answers: 32% to 62%. (Mostly, networking questions about employers.) Predictable, no? So here's my question to you: What do you know – that you should but probably don't – about your organization. There are so many obvious questions that can and should follow, but I'm going to let you deal with them. They're that obvious. In the meantime, Carmine's son had earned his business degree about 10 years ago, which I had helped him select (on my own time). He took a moment to send me an 'I'm thinking about you' email, and to let me know about his further plans. And there have been three presidents since (one interim and two permanent). I suggest that's all I need to say for now.
