Do you hire for expertise, or for someone to agree with you?

On this episode, Jeff Akin reviews Star Trek The Original Series, And the Children Shall Lead (Season 3, Episode 5). He will examine the leadership approaches of Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy.

Arguably one of the worst episodes in all of Star Trek gives an incredible framework for acknowledging and processing feelings to move towards better outcomes and productivity. Jeff shares three techniques to enhance your emotional intelligence and demonstrate compassion and empathy:

  1. Be an Active Listener
  2. Provide visible, tangible support
  3. Openly acknowledge and name emotions
