Do you have a balanced team for change?



Unlike many leadership teams, the Starship Enterprise had a powerful mix of very different characters giving them the versatility to survive everything the universe had to throw at them.

Captain Kirk provided the vision and confidence "to boldly go". First Officer Spok the forward thinking analysis. Dr McCoy looked after wellbeing of the crew. Scotty got things done.
Take any one of these personalities out of the equation and things would have come unstuck. For instance, a great vision without critical analysis, care for people involved and someone to make things happen is doomed to failure.
