  1. pay compensation, work on your safety prevention and move forward because if you do shut one mine then there will be only matter of time to shut all because one day or another next death news will goanna come does not matter if you improved 99% of your safety protocols because that what murfurry law says if there is one percent chance of anything then it could happen so 1620 can die anytime anywhere no matter which race or any other discrimination objective it is so, then you are doing experiment not business , you should give disclaimer to your investor either or you should give disclaimer to your employes but you have to give to someone

  2. If i was the ceo and somebody died and I have to choose between shutting down or continue business as usual then I'd say both "my solution for this situation would be to temporarily shut down because I believe that if we shut down permanently the other laborers will get affected by this as well that's why temporarily shuting down is the safest option because while we temporarily shut down we can compensate the deceased family and make a proper throughout investigation of the matter and then fix the flaw which is security, by doing so we can gain the laborers trust and the companies reputation will not be tarnished
    " It's called *find an opportunity in chaos*"

  3. Important lesson for future leaders from a real and painful situation. Rusternburg is a mining town in South Africa. A significant number of employees often originates from other countries or provinces within RSA. So, this loss of life "Fatality" affect people beyond Rusternburg. The law of Mines globally, require a stoppage of the mine for in_loco investigation involving mine management, Unions, and Inspectors of mine. So, what is critical from Executive leadership is what happens during this period like offering support to family of the deceased (often HR team, Unions and social workers will travel quite distance to personnally inform families of this accidental death), co_workers are often devastated and scared to go back to workplaces. Further ensure proper investigation that will lead to the strong understanding of what happened and how can this be prevented. The difficulty of a mining leader is to reassure everyone this is the last accident that will ever take a human life or result in permanent disability. That's is what keeps Executives awake a night. Good and meaningful case. Dealing with a critical unplanned situation.

  4. When you do your work properly, with safety as the foundation, you not only protect people but also build trust. That trust makes discussions richer, because employees and colleagues feel secure enough to share concerns and propose improvements. In turn, this strengthens both productivity and morale.

    In a way, what you’re describing is the Harvard case method in practice: learning through dialogue, questioning assumptions, and applying knowledge to real-world challenges. Safety becomes not just a compliance issue, but a shared value that emerges from open communication.

  5. The importance of a human being is a way that we can perceive in the education of each Harvard student, and after some time listening to the classes, we can learn a lot of different things and learn a lot with the students online.

  6. That's interesting because the knowledge shared in Harvard are important points to make, I learned a lot about communication and the things that come related to safety in companies, when you do your work properly, and where there's no other human being at risk, the good things can come from the discussion you have with other people.

  7. Leadership Manifesto: Profitability with Responsibility.

    As leaders of one of the largest mining companies in the world, operating in regions rich in biodiversity and culture such as tropical forests and African territories, we carry a responsibility that goes beyond numbers.

    Profitability cannot be built upon the exhaustion of natural resources.

    Every mineral extracted, every forest touched, every soil disturbed carries centuries of ecological balance. We know these resources are finite, and therefore, we must treat them with reverence, science, and vision for the future.

    For this reason, we commit to implementing rigorous protective measures in the environments we explore:

    – Constant environmental monitoring.

    – Restoration of degraded areas.

    – Investment in low-impact technologies.

    – Transparency in sustainability reporting.

    But protecting the environment is only half of the equation.

    The other half is protecting people.

    Our employees and the local communities are an essential part of the human ecosystem that sustains our operations.

    – Safety always comes first.

    – If the environment poses risks, the activity must stop.

    – If there is doubt, precaution must prevail.

    That is why we invest in continuous education for all employees and residents of the regions where we operate:

    – Training on safety and labor rights.

    – Career development programs.

    – Constant dialogue with community leaders.

    – Inclusion of local knowledge in decision-making.

    Leading with authority requires courage.

    Courage to say “no” to immediate profit when it threatens the future.
    Courage to listen, learn, and adapt.

    Courage to transform an industry historically marked by exploitation into a symbol of sustainable progress.

    This is our commitment.

    This is our legacy.

    This is the true value of being at the head of a US$25 billion company: to use this power to protect what truly matters.

  8. At first, I accidentally saw this video and clicked in because I want to know how Harvard students study. However, after watching this until the end, I realize why these university students always become top players in many fields. The environment of the class, the style of professor, and the lessons in the class were so engaging, stimulating students to discuss to other peers, getting chances to obtain opinions of people from different sides of the world. I think this video is considerably worth to watch. It can motivate myself to keep learning again. Btw Thank you! for such a good video

  9. 3.7 people per 100,000 die in work related injuries across all categories in America every year.

    They have 162,000 and have a death and this is a Harvard case study?

    These children will still be children when they graduate.

  10. Idk why YouTube recommended this to me.🙄

    Nobody said, "The dead miner's family should be compensated immediately and fellow miners should be assured that the company will improve safety standards immediately". These idiots also don't have the common sense to think that only that faulty section of the mine can be shutdown temporarily instead of the entire mine.

    No wonder, common sense isn't common.

  11. These types of classes are way much better then just writing down things from classroom , i am currently pursuing bsc from india and i have these type of faculty in my college it really helps to quoqte answer gain confidence as the matter of fact these ppl are already in Harvard they have these qualities but an interactive classroom is the best , it really helps you to go out of box .❤❤❤❤

  12. a far cry from Filipino teachers who will shame you if you don't know what they're discussing, unhealthily compare you with other students, or accuse you of not listening when you're just asking questions. That's my experience in Philippine elementary and high school education. I'm so so so happy to have gone to the best university in the country (which is UP) because I was encouraged to ask questions, think critically, and learn genuinely.
