I Say... Shakespeare's Lessons in Leadership: Hamlet

Hello, everybody:

Here's something a little unusual. It's called Shakespeare's Lessons in Leadership: Hamlet. It illustrates how Hamlet models (or does not model) leadership attributes. I think I wrote it in such a way that even someone unfamiliar with the play would have no trouble following the logic and hopefully enjoying it. I'm almost finished with a piece on Shakespeare's Macbeth, also illustrating leadership traits.

I am very interested in knowing if something like this holds people's interests and is of value, or if I'm just crazy. Please take a look at it and let me know what you think.

Stay warm,
Craig

Jaime,

Thanks for the nice feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to look at the article.

Were you already pretty familiar with the storyline of Hamlet? It's one of the longest ones from Shakespeare, so a lot of people run out of gas when they begin reading it (...unless a school grade depends on it). I've heard that the Kenneth Branagh film version of Hamlet (1997) is very good, but I haven't seen it yet. The movie runs almost 4 hours, so it's not quick viewing.

Can you think of any other characters of literature that illustrate leadership attributues?

Craig

I was somewhat familiar with the storyline even though I have not read it. I've only watched the film with Mel Gibson. All I recall of that film is the sword fight at the end.

I did not realize there would be a quiz at the end of the reading

Jaime,

No quiz! Just curious if anything came to mind. The very idea of a literature quiz makes my blood pressure go up...

So, does the author consider Hamlet a worthy example of prime Leadership or a horrible Leader or, perhaps, a young Leader-in-the-Making? I suppose the article was not to convey to the reader what the author's thoughts are...but perhaps to allow the reader to make up his or her own mind.

The real fun could come from anlayzing several of Shakespere's works for parallel philosophies...MacBeth (or perhaps Lady MacBeth), Merchant of Venice, Midsummer Night's Dream...the options are vast.

Has anyone ever worked for a King Lear? I can think of one I had many moons ago. Talk about leaving skid marks, did I ever.

Craig,

Jack Ryan is the only character that I can think of. I recently read Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October.
