  30. <meta content="Using Shakespeare's Henry V as an exemplar of mythic, ideal leadership has become increasingly popular in management education. We will examine Henry V and compare his leadership to that of Shakespeare's Coriolanus (an exemplar of poor leadership?). Both engage the polity but in highly contrasting ways. We will argue that neither is ideal as both are rooted in power, glorifying war and conflict, and both suggest that great victories can be gained at little cost; war is used as a super-ordinate goal in an effort to deflect attention to the condition of the people and to shape cultural meaning. In addition the king twice issues orders in Shakespeare's Henry V to &quot;kill all the prisoners&quot;, actions not included in the Branagh (1989) and Olivier (1944) film versions of the play that are those popularly used in management training at MIT, the University of Virginia and the popular workshops run by Lord Olivier's son Richard. We encourage caution in using Henry V in management education as Henry is more virtuous in Shakespearean myth than he was in reality. " name="eprints.abstract" />

We will examine Henry V and compare his leadership to that of Shakespeare's Coriolanus (an exemplar of poor leadership?). Both engage the polity but in highly contrasting ways. We will argue that neither is ideal as both are rooted in power, glorifying war and conflict, and both suggest that great victories can be gained at little cost; war is used as a super-ordinate goal in an effort to deflect attention to the condition of the people and to shape cultural meaning. In addition the king twice issues orders in Shakespeare's Henry V to "kill all the prisoners", actions not included in the Branagh (1989) and Olivier (1944) film versions of the play that are those popularly used in management training at MIT, the University of Virginia and the popular workshops run by Lord Olivier's son Richard. We encourage caution in using Henry V in management education as Henry is more virtuous in Shakespearean myth than he was in reality. </p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Conference or Workshop Item (Paper)</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Shakespeare, Henry V, Coriolanus, Management Education, Leadership, Theatre, Conflict, Mythic Leadership</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/350201.html">350000 Commerce, Management, Tourism and Services &gt; 350200 Business and Management &gt; 350201 Human Resources Management</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/339999.html">330000 Education &gt; 339900 Other Education &gt; 339999 Other Education</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/220000.html">220000 Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts - General</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/410102.html">410000 The Arts &gt; 410100 Performing Arts &gt; 410102 Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">1470</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Dr Chris Poulson</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">26 Jul 2007</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">09 Jan 2008 02:30</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=1470;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&amp;eprintid=1470">item control page</a></p>
