078: TOS: The Man Trap

Starfleet Leadership Academy - Leadership Through Star Trek

On this episode, Jeff Akin reviews Star Trek The Original Series, The Man Trap (Season 1, Episode 5). He will examine the leadership approaches of Captain Kirk.

There is a shape-shifting, salt vampire on Planet M-113 and McCoy is in love with it! Sort of. He's in love with the shape it shows. So, he ends up making some egregious mistakes. In this episode, Jeff looks at how Captain Kirk responds to those mistakes and shows you how to do the same; creating an culture of "failure," which is really just a more shocking name for a culture of innovation.
