I have a book coming out that answers a broader version of this question (not just movies, but television series, novels, and graphic novels too) from the perspective of criminology: Deleted research item The research item mentioned here has been deleted

Article Criminological Fiction: What is it Good For?

Why do authors, playwrights, poets, and artists create the things they do? They reflect upon the human experience: emotions, psychological events, relationships, etc. Human beings create things the way a human being would. They do not have the lower intelligence of animals because they are far more complex than they. Because human beings think like a human, they design things like a human. All things, upon in-depth evaluation, relate to the human experience. Mathematics, or quantitative reasoning, can be related to how a detective looks at a crime scene. They put pieces together to form an overarching principle or truth. Another example is the comedy, Sharknado. Sharknado can teach others how to handle (though not entirely realistically) a natural disaster and the devastating effects it has on the lives of thousands.

Hope that this insight was helpful. :)

Thank you for the enriching comments, ladies, and gentlemen. I am so happy to see them. However, I was also thinking about how we can relate artists like Picasso/Michael Angelo/Vincent Van Gogh/Salvador Dali as leaders in their own field and how as an Executive Trainer I can derive lessons in Management from them

I'm sceptical about drawing any leadership lessons from great artists, but Kant's conception of artistic genius might be useful to you. Iris Vidmar Jovanović's 2017 paper, "A Portrait of the Artist as a Gifted Man: What Lies in the Mind of a Genius?", is a good place to start: https://www.academia.edu/35858250/A_Portrait_of_the_Artist_as_a_Gifted_Man_What_Lies_In_The_Mind_Of_A_Genius

Debapriyo Nag ,

Thank you for clarifying your motivation in posting the discussion thread question.

Your example of "artists like Picasso/Michael Angelo/Vincent Van Gogh/Salvador Dali as leaders in their own field" and "how as an Executive Trainer" you can "derive lessons in Management from them" is most helpful. And these are the immediate scenarios that come to my mind. You might show masterpieces of art created by each of these world renowned painters at a workshop or class and, for each masterpiece, using all of them as an outline, concentrate on a quality of character that is important for executives and managers to cultivate. For instance, Picasso's Guernica shows how a hostile air raid inflicts great pain and suffering on people in a small town in Spain, which might be the theme for your remarks about the necessity of avoiding a confrontational attitude to colleagues, subordinates, and the clientele. A painting by Michael Angelo could help to illustrate the way people's religious beliefs might affect them and how, in a business management situation, it is important to maintain an attitude of respect for the spiritual well being of those with whom business is to be conducted, in other words, the importance of cultivating a sense of humility in one's business. Vincent Van Gogh was a rural landscape artist who used painting and art to release his pent-up emotional and intellectual energies. As you know, he was interested in a wide variety of landscapes and interiors. You could develop a topic, using any of his numerous words as illustrations of the points you wish to convey. And, finally, the great surrealist Salvador Dali is one of the most imaginative and whimsical artists of all time. You could open the floor to discussion of various responses of individuals, in the case of a one-to-one discussion in your office, or to participants in a workshop, seminar, or course on "Business and the Arts," to the entire group to close the session, class, or course in an imaginative way.

With my best wishes.

Thank you colleagues for sharing your thoughts.I really appreciate the learning I get from all of you. I was wondering the Chicago Gangster Bugsy Siegel can be referred to as a leader of its own kind as he transformed/rather built the first Casino at Las Vegas in 1941 at Freemont Street(Not very sure 29 Freemont Street). So if Leadership is all about ideas why not Bugsy Siegel a leader who visualized today's Las Vegas Casino.

That's the question I have.

Best Wishes
