What Would Shakespeare Do ?

Timeless Leadership Lessons from the Bard

“What Would Shakespeare Do? is a compelling exploration of leadership through the timeless lens of Shakespeare’s plays, offering fresh insights for modern executives, entrepreneurs and decision-makers.”

David Breuer - Unicorn Publishing

What Would Shakespeare Do? explores leadership, power and organisational life through the lens of Shakespeare’s plays and characters.

Drawing on a leader’s perspective and real-world experience, the book reflects on how ambition, loyalty, conflict, moral choice and failure shape decision-making in complex organisations. Through short, interpretive essays, it examines the human dynamics that continue to influence authority, responsibility and judgement in contemporary institutions.

Rather than offering prescriptive advice, the book invites reflection on leadership as a human practice - shaped as much by emotion, character and context as by strategy or structure.
