Abstract: As entertaining as it is useful, Make It So captures the myths of Star Trek: The Next Generation as it delivers dramatically rich lessons on leadership, including the importance of the ability to focus on a single "mission," effective communication, teamwork, honor ... and many others. 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 U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-D.--[book jacket].
