■ The Big Idea
Having written one hundred fifty-four sonnets, several long poems and thirty-nine plays (all still read, performed and studied today) it can perhaps be said that no other writer in the history of literature has shown much knowledge about the nature of people and the human condition than Shakespeare. This book shows that wherever we are in our career or private life, Shakespeare has been there already, and he has much to teach us. Shakespeare can be especially helpful to modern business leaders at every level of the business game. Throughout the book, John Whitney and Tina Packer gives us vignettes on Shakespeares plays and their insights on business leadership, showing us various lessons on managing ourselves and the people in our companies.
