What can CEOs learn from The Sopranos? Can you use Bridget Jones' Diary as a guide to career development? And what is Breaking Bad if not the ultimate manual for side hustlers?

Referencing hundreds of well-loved scenes, characters and plot lines in pop culture, the book pulls out key management, careers and leadership lessons that can be enjoyed and absorbed by everyone – from graduate trainees and CEOs, to pop culture enthusiasts and cinephiles.

Tackling themes ranging from emotional intelligence, teamwork dynamics, and climbing the corporate ladder to disrupting markets, crisis management, and toxic cultures, Rhymer Rigby offers a unique blend of entertainment and business wisdom.

Whether it's Patrick Bateman's personal branding in American Psycho, Mulder and Scully's working relationship in The X-Files, Hagrid’s induction process in Harry Potter, or the fundamental failures of risk management in the Alien franchise, The TV MBA casts an eye over celebrated characters and scenes, pulling out lessons and insights that apply to the real-world business environment.
