‘Five leadership lessons from James T. Kirk’

I’ve been without home Internet for a while now, so I’ve been rereading Star Trek books, including James Blish’s works. And I have to agree with this most of this article. Captain Picard? His leadership tricks seems to be to surround yourself with Klingons, androids, telepathic aliens and guys who wear visors.

    #6 Never accept no win scenarios. Otherwise he wouldn’t be famous for being the ONLY cadet to defeat the infamous Kobayashi Maru training simulation.

    # 7 When on the landing party, to insure survival surround yourself with anonymous Red shirts for cannon fodder.

    # 8 Keep your body in shape. You never know when your shirt will get ripped in a fight while a hot green skinned lady is watching.

    #9 When asked to direct; refuse. see Star Trek V for details.

    #10 Be kind to whales. You never know when one may have to save Earth.

    Good article, Thanks for posting. Maybe you can post the wit and wisdom of Lazarus Long on a slow day.
