A management guide bases its principles on the practices of the Star Trek: The Next Generation crew and the leadership of Captain Picard, which focus on shared goals, effective communication, teamwork, and honor.

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.

Hardback. Condition: Good. This work takes its inspiration from "Star Trek". It delivers lessons on leadership, effective communication, teamwork, honour and the ability to focus on a single mission. The examples are taken from the on-screen adventures of Captain Picard and the Starship Enterprise, but the lessons and the benefits are real and can be applied to everyday situations where the goal is the kind of high performance organization embodied by the crew of the USS Enterprise.
