Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

This vision of encounters hundreds of years into the future, based on the current Star Trek: The Next Generation television series, is aimed not only at fans but-believe it or not-at students of management and idealists seeking a model for principled leadership. Roberts (Victory Secrets of Attila the Hun) presents Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, commander of the starship USS Enterprise, the TV protagonist, as a role model par excellence. The author stays within the fictitious framework of the series in getting his message across. Capt. Picard keeps a journal of his adventures (familiar to Star Trek viewers) in which he analyzes the leadership qualities required for a successful outcome. They include the ability to focus on a mission, purposeful action, effective communication, teamwork and honor. By using the captain as a role model, Roberts makes no allowances for human frailty. Alleged readers of the journal are candidates for the Starfleet Academy, where potential space age leaders are groomed and trained.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great leadership advice!, April 23 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: MAKE IT SO: LEADERSHIP FOR THE NEXT GENERATION (STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION) (Paperback)
As a die-hard Star Trek fan I really enjoyed this book. I think the authors got a real feel for speaking through Jean Luc Picard. The only reason I'm not giving this book a full 5 stars is because of the unnecessary and boring forwards that come at the beginning of every chapter. We don't need to be told at the beginning of the chapter what a great leader Picard is, we find this out from reading the chapter content itself. Also, I'm not sure how someone who is totally unfamilar with Star Trek would respond to this book.

Overall, as someone who has owned two businesses and now teaches, I found much of the advice very helpful, and this book is a great way to re-experience and get a different perspective on some ultra popular Star Trek episodes. I definitely recommend this book to any Star Trek fan whose is interested in not only becoming a better leader, but also performing better in the work place. You're Amazonian friend, Aurkid.

Especially insightful if you are familiar with Star Trek. Each of the lessons picks up an episode and speaks to the leadeship exhibted by the crew of the Enterprise. Easy to read, simple to understand. Check it out!

5.0 out of 5 stars For everyone, Oct 5 1999

This review is from: MAKE IT SO: LEADERSHIP FOR THE NEXT GENERATION (STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION) (Paperback)
This book is great for Star trek fans AND for those who have never seen an episode. All the back ground information is available for understanding. But more importantly the book offers prudent leadership lessons and ideas for one to think about and build on. This book really builds a foundation for "outside of the box" thinking.
