Yep that is me, the Sci-Fi Geek, especially of the Stargate TV series, SG-1, Atlantis and the soon to be launched Universe. (Yes I am biased, a fan before it even launches)
But there are some valuable lessons to be learned from a show like this:
You need a strong leader, gotta love Col. Jack O’Neill (that’s 2 L’s – if you love the show like I do, that one will make sense 
)
- A strong leader knows what the objective is, what the mission plan is and what steps need to be taken.
- An effective leader also knows how to delegate to the team and take advantage on their expertise.
- A respected leader trusts the team to get the job done, to ask for help when needed and do what it takes to move the project, sorry, I mean mission- forward.
- A good leader has a sense of humor. It is not healthy to be so serious all the time and a sense of humor goes a long way in keeping things interesting and never boring.
- An effective leader also knows when to take a break. Col. O’Neill loves fishing in Minnesota (in a pond without any fish don’t ya know). He understands the importance of getting away from the intensity of the job and recharge and refuel.
These are just a few insights into the type of leader I want to be.
- What about you, what type of leader do you want to be?
- Who are the leaders you would like to emulate?
