Exploring the extensive world of HBO’s Game of Thrones series to
illustrate leadership theories supported by scholarly research,
Bend the Knee or Seize the Throne analyzes characters and scenarios
from the series to demonstrate and deconstruct different examples
of leadership and leader behavior. The expansive fantasy world
created by George R. R. Martin provides the perfect backdrop for
diverse discussions around various types of leadership, from
authoritarian and servant to transactional and charismatic, and
different forms of power and influence. How is power used and
abused? What are the effects of abuse of power? An examination of
ethics and motivation, along with concepts of justice and cultural
awareness, feed into a comprehensive dive into manifestations of
leadership throughout the Seven Kingdoms. Informing readers from
students and aspiring leaders through to experienced leaders,
managers, consultants, and educators, this fun and accessible
exploration of leadership theories appeals to both practitioners
and fans of Game of Thrones. Nathan Tong and Michael J. Urick
bridge the gap between academic theories of leadership and familiar
characters and situations from a pop-culture phenomenon.
