On this episode, Jeff Akin reviews Star Trek The Next Generation, Q Who (Season 2, Episode 16). He will examine the leadership approaches of Captain Picard and Geordi LaForge.
“Resistance is Futile.” Or, as they say in this episode, “You will be punished.”
Q wants to join the crew of the Enterprise! And, shockingly, he doesn’t deal with rejection very well. When he plunges the Enterprise into an existential encounter, Picard demonstrates the value of asking for help. He also shares a valuable lesson about complacency. Jeff shares a strategy called “Kill the Company” to help you combat complacency. We also watch as Geordi LaForge (painfully) onboards a new member of the engineering team.
