Listen "Captain James T. Kirk"
Episode Synopsis
This week Andrew and Ellen boldly go where no podcast has gone before, deep into the command style of Captain James T. Kirk. Maverick? Visionary? HR’s worst nightmare? We chart the life and leadership of Starfleet’s most decorated captain, exploring his blend of charm, courage, and chaos.We debate whether Kirk’s flair for risk is a strength or a flaw, unpack his servant-leadership instincts, and question if his “strategic rule-bending” would fly in the 21st-century workplace. Along the way, we draw parallels with modern leadership theory, test Kirk’s credentials in other universes (Avengers HQ or Jedi Council?), and ask the ultimate question: would you want to serve under him?Packed with humour, insight, and just the right dose of Starfleet nostalgia, this episode reminds us that imperfect leaders can still inspire perfect loyalty, and that sometimes, to go boldly, you’ve got to rewrite the Prime Directive.
