Learning the leadership lessons from Shakespeare’s Macbeth

A new development programme, highlighting the leadership lessons from Shakespeare’s Macbeth, has been launched by Roffey Park in conjunction with theatre director Richard Olivier and his company Olivier Mythodrama.

Using the story of Macbeth - and contrasting the actions and character of the warrior-tyrant and the quiet Prince Malcolm - Roffey Park says the programme will highlight effective leadership characteristics and styles and encourage participants to critically evaluate their own leadership approach.

Called Courageous Leadership, the three-day programme will run from 23rd - 25th November 2005.

"Macbeth is relevant to managers in today’s organisations because it contains key lessons about what makes a great leader," said Steve Tarpey, Director of Executive Programmes at Roffey Park. "It portrays issues such as trust and purpose and it draws a distinction between optimal and dangerous ambition."
