The latest Star Trek film isn't just a good dose of sci-fi fun, it also offers managers a number of lessons on how lead to during a crisis, a recent Fast Company article suggests.
To prove its point the magazine examined Star Trek movies and TV episodes, old and new, to identify 12 quotes on leadership. Here are just a few:
- On setting realistic goals: "Genius doesn't work on an assembly line basis. You can't simply say, 'Today I will be brilliant.'" - Capt. James T. Kirk
- On creativity: "Things are only impossible until they're not." - Capt. Jean-Luc Picard
- On position: "One of the advantages of being Captain is being able to ask for advice without necessarily having to take it." - Kirk
- On planning ahead: "We must anticipate, and not make the same mistake once." - Picard
