Star Trek is full of great examples of leadership. Jeff Akin, a leader with over 20 years of executive management experience in both the public and private sectors, breaks down each episode of Star Trek, from The Original Series to Discovery (and possibly beyond) and points out examples of great leadership, management, lean/six-sigma, communication and more. If you enjoy Star Trek, or are even a little Trek-curious, and have an appetite for leadership development, this is the podcast for you.
On this episode, Jeff Akin reviews Star Trek The Next Generation, Up the Long Ladder (Season 2, Episode 18). He will examine the leadership approaches of Captain Picard and Dr. Pulaski.
We learn the value of laughing with your team and what it looks like to stand up for them. We also explore a strategy for building trust with your teams that you can apply right away.
