Description de l'ouvrage :
Wicked Leadership in Film offers a novel theory of how leaders can contend with so-called “wicked problems,” a class of important, entrenched, and far-reaching political and social challenges (such as climate change or mental illness) that resist ordinary policies and problem solving. Bruce Peabody’s relational theory is built on two central claims. First, it holds that we cannot confront wicked problems without understanding how they relate to other leadership challenges such as confronting crises or managing relatively routine decisions. Second, the model contends that our leaders’ approach to wicked problems must be understood through their ongoing cooperative or antagonistic relationship with the existing political order—a status that shapes their authority and overall, the potential for success. Besides its original argument about wicked leadership, this book provides a distinct method for testing this theory: by studying a series of cinematic case studies ranging from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
À propos de l'auteur :
Bruce Peabody is a professor of Government and Law at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Revue de Presse :
"Bruce Peabody uses film to illustrate the vexing challenges posed by the complexities of many problems in our modern interdependent world and the skills of leadership needed to contend with them. An insightful book that is very useful for teaching. As my neighbors in Maine would say: 'This book is wicked good!'"
-- Jeffrey K. Tulis, Professor of Government, The University of Texas at Austin
