There’s a clever look at leadership in the winter issue of Strategy + Business. It’s posted as Shall I compare thee to an Andy Grove?
The piece asserts that business and political leaders hit their heights when they create effective characters to present to people. It then looks at how Shakespearean plays like Henry V and Richard III are taught in leadership courses,. The author indulges in the obvious: a trip to acting school in England.
All in all, a good read, and an intriguing argument that the best leaders may also be the best actors.
What do you think? Does ‘fake it ’til you make it’ work?
