Starfleet Leadership Academy - Leadership Through Star Trek

Sep 7 2021 • 38 mins

On this episode, Jeff Akin reviews Star Trek The Original Series, A Private Little War (Season 2, Episode 16). He will examine the leadership approaches of Captain Kirk. Captain Kirk both completely blows it and gets it right. He’s leading an away team mission that goes awry and he ends up getting poisoned by a mugatu.  Why was he leading the away team you ask? Fantastic question. Before he does that, though, demonstrates vulnerability and impressive emotional intelligence. He, once again, shows he is a strong manager that invites opinions, even when they are different than his.  Starfleet Leadership Academy Online Store: www.starfleetleadership.academy/store  Follow the Academy and connect through: Website: https://www.starfleetleadership.academy/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/SFLApodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jefftakin/ Facebook: https://facebook.com/groups/sflapodcast/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCebdT7xtm2237q0f857BBuw Find and follow Starfleet Leadership Academy on all your favorite podcast streaming platforms!
