This methodology is proposed as an alternative to the most commonly used approaches in management studies, namely, positivist and interpretive approaches. The transformative approach is particularly suitable for connecting management consulting and research because this approach attempts to integrate action and reflection, personal and organizational realities, and theory and practice.

The chapter initially discusses ontological and methodological issues in management research, with particular emphasis on the relationship of theory and practice. The second part highlights the main characteristics of positivism and interpretive research. The chapter then focuses on transformative inquiry, examining its origin as related to action research and other methodologies such as grounded theory and contextual research. The discussion
emphasizes transformative inquiry as encompassing a triple axis of transformations—on the subject under investigation, on the research site, and on the individual researcher (self). Various aspects of the pedagogy of the transformative inquiry agent, as well as issues associated with the use and operation of this research approach, are also examined. The chapter concludes with a comparative assessment of the three approaches, emphasizing their theoretical underpinnings, nature, practice and anticipated outcomes, and a tentative exploration of the ramifications for the field of
management consulting.

Nevertheless, the interactive complexities in leadership experiences remains utterly unexplored.

Thus this research project introduces a non-essentialist perspective to extend previous conceptualizations of leadership by analysing leadership experiences as conceived by a subject, in the psychoanalytical sense. Despite the widespread use of Lacanian psychoanalysis in many fields, it has been barely referred to in the leadership field. This project redresses this shortcoming.

It illustrates experiences of leadership as lived by subjects/film characters. The chosen corpus of films contains The Master (Paul Thomas Anderson, United States, 2012), Locke (Steven Knight, UK, 2013), The Hunt (Thomas Vinterberg, Denmark, 2012) and Two Days, One Night (Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne, Belgium, 2014). The main intent is to provide a broader scope of leadership experiences than so far presented by the leadership literature.
