On this episode, Jeff Akin reviews Star Trek Discovery, Into the Forest I Go (Season 1, Episode 9). He will examine the leadership approaches of Captain Lorca. Effective leadership requires living in both the present and the future simultaneously. It's the leader's job to craft a vision for the future and get others to buy into and share that vision. The leader should connect with people with both good intent and good perception and reception so that others share the vision and move there with them. The leader needs to get really good at describing the future as they live in the present. It's also important to connect with people in personal and meaningful ways that are uniquely meaningful to each of them. Finally, the leader must recognize and reinforce when people help move from the present into the future. By fostering a shared vision and recognizing champions, leaders can start living in the next future and connect in the next present to keep everybody moving forward. The episode emphasizes the importance of recognizing and reinforcing the contributions of team members who share and actively work towards the shared vision. Jeff Akin explains that as a leader, it is not only your job to craft a vision for the future, but more importantly, to get others to buy into and share that vision. This can be achieved by fostering a shared vision and recognizing your champions. By doing so, it enables you to start living in the next future and connect with people with both good intent and good perception and reception so that others share your vision and move there with you. The episode also highlights the importance of understanding what motivates people and how to use that as recognition or to encourage motivation. Ultimately, recognizing and reinforcing the contributions of team members who share and actively work towards the shared vision is crucial for success.
