Leaders are constantly called upon to solve problems, direct institutional growth, and, on occasion, even solve humanitarian crises. Leadership development need not be complicated or overly staid.

'Second Star to the Right: Essays on Leadership in Star Trek' provides a set of exceptional chapters from a diverse range of scientists, professionals, writers, and thinkers.

About the Author :
Jason A. Kaufman is a professor of educational leadership and director of the institutional review board at Minnesota State University, Mankato and a licensed psychologist. He is a co-author of 'Leadership in Star Trek: Lessons from the Captain's Chair'. He is also co-host of the 'Dice in Mind' podcast. Jason's research agenda is loosely bifurcated among two partially overlapping foci. On the empirical front, he focuses on the potential for mind-body and nature-based interventions to promote human functioning. However, his most recent papers have been policy papers regarding the exploration of space. Concurrently, Jason has been writing with his friend and colleague, Aaron Peterson, on the potential of 'Star Trek' to promote a better world through leadership. Aaron M. Peterson is an assistant professor of leadership at Converse University. He is a co-author of 'Leadership in Star Trek: Lessons from the Captain's Chair'. Aaron's research agenda focuses primarily on the process of conflict engagement in higher education as well as other sectors. He also explores leadership best practices in higher education and other arenas. This latter focus has really come into better focus as Aaron has been writing with his friend and colleague, Jason Kaufman, on the merits of 'Star Trek' to promote a better world through leadership.

Review :
This is my favorite book on Star Trek and (anything). And not just because it's a fantastic work by a group of innovative leadership experts who really, really know their Star Trek. But because the authors walk the talk and boldly go where no others have gone before in discussing leadership traits and skills. In an age of noise, flashy politics, and disconnect, the theme of humble leadership--with its key components of conflict competency, loyalty, and care-is sure to console and inspire. "Second Star to the Right" will delight Star Trek fans and keep 'em coming back for more (which I hope the editors will provide!) Noam Ebner - co-editor, 'Star Wars and Conflict Resolution' series Highly readable and relevant. Kaufman and Peterson have assembled an incredible crew of experts to tackle topics of central concern to leaders and managers. The "Star Trek" universe provides numerous access points for insights around successful leadership, mentorship, and personal growth, and "Second Star to the Right" explores these sectors with expertise, courage, and wit.
