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 ordera 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 \u003ci\u003eMr. Smith Goes to Washington\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eOne Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042698920279,"sku":"9781793653895","price":72.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793653895.jpg?v=1750955238","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/wicked-leadership-in-film-9781793653895","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
