Executive training retreats and management guides based on Shakespeare’s plays are now options for the up-and-coming CEO. Shakespeare may offer valuable lessons about “communicating your vision” and “managing your team,” but what exactly does he teach us about the successful leader? We’ll look at six plays featuring some of his most distinctive leaders, and examine the mix of compassion, ruthlessness, and policy that comprises their leadership styles. On the reading list: Richard II, 2 Henry IV, Henry V, Julius Caesar, Measure for Measure, and Tempest.
