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.

On this special episode, Jeff Akin reviews The Orville, Old Wounds (Season 1, Episode 1). He will examine the leadership approaches of Captain Ed Mercer.

Therapy works! That's the theme of this episode. But we also get an incredible look at the wrong way to prepare for an interview or a performance evaluation - and, spoiler alert: the wrong way is likely one of the ways you've been taught to do.
