The universes of Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and others, may take place in a galaxy far, far, away, and their crews may be charged with missions of exploring strange, new worlds, and seeking out new life and new civilizations, but they reflect much of our own times, offering lessons on leadership, strategy, and more. CSPC is delighted to host contributors of a new book “To Boldly Go” which explores these universes and more. Drawing out what Captain Picard can teach us about leadership, whether the X-Wing or the Y-Wing is superior Admiral Adama’s thoughts on strategy, whether we need to fear a Cylon uprising, and more, the authors will offer their thoughts on what we can learn from these universes and how we should think about today’s challenges and those on the horizon.
