Abstract: In Make It So: Leadership Lesons From Star Trek: The Next Generation, Wess Roberts and coauthor Bill Ross take their inspiration from today's most striking and most popular version of the future--Star Trek--an unprecedented television, feature film and publishing phenomenon. From the top-rated television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, Roberts and Ross find a new sybol for successful leadership: Captain Jean-Luc Picard. As entertaining as it is useful, Make It So captures the mythos of Star Trek: The Next Generation as it delivers dramatically rich lessons on leadership, including the importance of the ability to focus on a single "mission," effective communication, teamwork, honor...and other important concepts. The examples are taken from the on-screen adventures of Captain Picard and the Starship Enterprise, but the lessons and benefits are real--and can be applied to everyday situations where the goal is the kind of high-perforamnce organization embodied by the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-D.
