      abstract = {Winning power in Westeros is hard, but holding power is  much harder. The book analyzes strategies of leadership in  the popular television series as an inspiration for today's  uncertain times and our corporate world, bringing together  research on TV series with management studies. The medieval  fantasy world presents emotional and larger-than-life  leadership archetypes: charismatic, authentic, privileged,  masculine, female, motherly, lonely, romantic and disabled  leaders. They are constructed and deconstructed. Hands,  penises, and heads are chopped off. In this way, the series  also celebrates the power of those who follow or resist,  and always influence their leaders. This book is a  translation of the original German 1st edition Leadership  in Game of Thrones by Brigitte Biehl, published by Springer  Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020.  The translation was done with the help of artificial  intelligence (machine translation by the service  DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily  in terms of content, so that the book will read  stylistically differently from a conventional translation.  Springer Nature works continuously to further the  development of tools for the production of books and on the  related technologies to support the authors.
