I’ve worked for
cool, completely logical managers
and I’ve worked for
hot-headed, completely emotional managers.
The most successful managers,
however,
tend to be a combination
of these two extreme personality types.
J.J. Abrams
shares,
in the September/October
The Costco Connection,
“In some ways,
working on a movie requires
being a little bit of Kirk
and a little bit of Spock.
That is to say,
when you are captaining a ship
or running a movie set,
you have to be
the impulsive and instinctive,
shoot-from-the-hip guy,
but you also have to be
logical, organized and practical too.
Part of the fun of these two characters
is they sort of complete each other.”
When leading,
be both Spock and Captain Kirk.
