Leadership in Isolation

The purpose of this project is to collect research on the leadership interactions and understand what aspects of leadership would emerge and be most effective in an isolated colony, such as Mars. Research on isolated communities is important for current and future space exploration, as well as certain situations on Earth. Leadership occurs in many daily interactions and understanding it in the context of isolated areas can help improve performance in teams and aid in mission completion by applying this knowledge to everyday interactions. Working on these ideas in the context of space exploration presents some unique challenges. Most space environment situations are not testable on Earth leaving people with fears about how to solve unpredictable problems.
