Personally I think most managers could do with watching TNG rather than TOS. Picard is the quintessential leader. He always asks his crew for input on situations, defers to their expertise in their chosen areas, puts trust in his crew rather than micromanaging, treats everyone with respect, listens to people, values empathy and compassion, values diplomacy over violence, values democracy over tyranny, knows when to compromise and when to stand firm, knows when to take risks and when not to, constantly self reflecting, instantly takes initiative in crisis situations, never loses hope when on the back foot, constantly improving himself through learning and culture and takes full responsibility for his actions including taking the necessary steps to rectify things when he gets things wrong. What more could you want from a leader than that?

- 100011_100001 4y agoThe implication of CEOs has always been that good leaders increase profits. Bad leaders reduce them.
- rcarr 4y agoI’m assuming this is a tongue in cheek question so the following isn’t really necessary, but for the people who aren’t convinced: Good leaders = happy and motivated employees. Happy and motivated employees = more productivity. More productivity = more profit. The current school of popular management is ridiculous in that it treats employees as “resources” that are expendable, seeking to work employees to the bone and extract maximum profit from their labour for as little possible in return. The alternative and better approach is to see employees as investments/assets who the company can help grow and nurture in a symbiotic relationship that benefits both parties. It is ridiculous that companies think the money and time wasted on recruitment, spying, micromanagement, pizza parties and the like is better value for money than just paying people reasonable salaries, investing in training, and fostering a high trust work environment where employees actually want to stick around. In my opinion, the former is indicative of a company where the higher levels of management have been infiltrated by people with sociopathic or psychopathic tendencies, as these are the people who can’t comprehend why anyone would make decisions that aren’t wholly motivated by self interest. The result is they manage their employees with zero trust and treat them like machines rather than people.

- Epicism 4y agoAgreed 1,000%. I recently re-watched the next generation with my wife, since I was a teenager and could not believe what an excellent leader Picard was. I am a Director at a big fork, consulting company, and I found myself using techniques that I saw in the show with my team to great effect.
