I’m a big fan of the TV Show The Wire. They managed to capture something true about how systems work, and fail, and also how people, both good and bad, find ways to manipulate any system to their own ends. If you’re into crime or police drama, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

The reason I’m thinking about The Wire is this post by Stewart Freedman, Professor at the Wharton School. He identifies a few themes from the show folks can learn from. I have half a post of my own thoughts, but for now take a look at his.

Leadership on The Wire.
