>4)  Define the duties of a Starship Captain, be concise.

The duties of a captain, in no particular order, are as follows:

1.  command the ship
2.  represent the Federation in dealings with non-Federation races, which
i= mplies that
the captain would need certain diplomatic skills, while always aware that h= e is the
face of the Federation to the alien race.  The captain must always be on hi= s best
behavior and put his best foot forward 3.  he must be able to get the crew,
which likely comes from diverse backgr= ounds
and with experience on any number of ships, to form a tightly-functioning t= eam
4.  he must be able to delegate tasks and not micro-manage the day-to-day a= ffairs
of the ship.
5.  he must be able to inspire confidence in the crew and to get their loya= lty.
6.  he must be able to carry out the missions assigned to him by Starfleet = Command
to the best of his ability.
7.  he must be able to communicate to his crew cleary and concisely, and no= t leave
them guessing on what his orders really mean 8.  he must be familiar with
the ship, understand its systems and its abili= ties, and in an
emergency, be able to pitch in.
9.  he must be able to mediate disputes, either between crew members, the c= rew and
individuals off the ship, or between aliens, and he must be able to do this=
 without quickly
resorting to phasers.
10.  he should not be careless with the ship or the lives of the crew, by
e= xposing them to
unnecessary or uncertain risk, and he must not make rash decisions that
cou= ld affect
the lives of the crew or the security of the ship. 11.  be a visible
presence and don't always hide in the ready room 12.  should allow members
of the crew to speak freely and honestly to him, = although if
necessary in private.

Perhaps these are the attributes of a good captain, and not necessarily the=
 duties of a captain.
Perhaps they're one in the same.

How I am doing now?  Four questions answered.

Define the duties of a Starship Captain, be
concise.
The duties of a captain, in no
particular order,
are as follows:
 
1.  command the
ship
2.  represent the
Federation in dealings with
non-Federation races, which implies that
the captain would need certain
diplomatic skills,
while always aware that he is the
face of the Federation to the
alien race. 
The
captain must always be on his best
behavior and put his best foot
forward
3.  he must
be able to get the crew,
which likely comes from diverse backgrounds
and with experience on
any number of ships,
to form a tightly-functioning team
4.  he must
be able to delegate tasks
and not micro-manage the day-to-day affairs
of the
ship.
5.  he must
be able to inspire
confidence in the crew and to get their
loyalty.
6.  he must
be able to carry out the
missions assigned to him by Starfleet Command
to the best of his
ability.
7.  he must
be able to communicate to
his crew cleary and concisely, and not leave
them guessing on what
his orders really
mean
8.  he must
be familiar with the ship,
understand its systems and its abilities, and in

9.  he must

11.  be a
