What are the skills necessary for effective leadership? How can we learn to lead toward a better tomorrow? For six decades, the captains of Star Trek have demonstrated the potential for leaders to leverage reason and compassion in the service of others. Grounded in science yet focused on practical application, this book uses case studies from more than 40 episodes and films to explore how Captains Archer, Burnham, Pike, Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Janeway relied upon the basic leadership skills of communication, patience, and relationship to navigate the most challenging of events. This work lays out how leaders can leverage reason and compassion to create organizational cultures in which everyone has a place at the table. Whether you are a professional or a student of business, academics, schools, or government, Star Trek is more relevant than ever to the leaders of today to boldly go.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Jason A. Kaufman is a professor of educational leadership and director of the institutional review board at Minnesota State University, Mankato and a licensed psychologist. He is a co-author of 'Leadership in Star Trek: Lessons from the Captain's Chair'. He is also co-host of the 'Dice in Mind' podcast. Jason's research agenda is loosely bifurcated among two partially overlapping foci. On the empirical front, he focuses on the potential for mind-body and nature-based interventions to promote human functioning. However, his most recent papers have been policy papers regarding the exploration of space. Concurrently, Jason has been writing with his friend and colleague, Aaron Peterson, on the potential of 'Star Trek' to promote a better world through leadership.
