Inspirational Leadership
by Richard Olivier
If Henry V's big vision is
invading France we're not
recommending you go around
invading we're recommending
you find your big vision and
address it with the same skill
the king showed when he
addressed his."

Richard Olivier. Director of Olivier Mythodrama
“Shakespeare is timelessly
wise and eternally popular
and his plays are packed
with essential insights into
human psychology on the
use and abuse of power”

By understanding their own
actions, behaviour, feelings,
emotions and drives, participants
will better understand these
processes in others. Thus, they will
develop a leadership style that
improves the performance of their
organisation and, most importantly,
leads to a better balanced life.

Some conclusions
•Caesar’s arrogance led to his murder
• Brutus’s mistakes raise questions about
when and
how to resist the boss
•The conspirators failure shows the need for
thorough planning
The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men—
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
Henry V
Leadership skills
Ability to Motivate
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he who sheds his blood with me
shall be my brother;
This day shall gentle his condition
And gentlemen in England now abed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here
Ok Guys, we have a difficult
mission to complete but I
wanted you people on my team
because I know you are the
only ones here who can do it.
And there’ll be a big bonus
and a promotion for all of us if
we succeed
.
That he which hath no stomach to this
fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be
made
And crowns for convoy put into his
purse:
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us

Men at some time are masters of their fate
There is not one wise man in twenty that will
praise himself
O it is excellent to have a giant’s strenght but it
is tyranous to use it like a giant
Brevity is the soul of wit
Small to greater matters must give way
No profit grows whereis no pleasure taken

Shakespearean insults
Thou rank full-gorged popinjay!
Thou droning toad-spotted measle!
Thou goatish weather-bitten jolt-head!
The fate of all bookes depends
upon your capacities, and not of
your heads alone, but of your
purses ...
Whatever you do, buy.
