 At the top of the charts for 400 years, Shakespeare is still relevant today. The lessons we learn from Shakespeare can serve as a guide for our professional and personal lives. New leadership benefits more from ancient wisdom, specifically from Shakespeare's eternal truths, than they would from any "flavor the month" management fad. The Columbia University M.B.A. program is now teaching an entire course on management strategy using Shakespeare. By making Shakespeare easy to understand, Ken Adelman's "Shakespeare in Charge" keynote speeches put the Bard's ideas to work for you. Years of top-level management experience and a passion for the Bard led Ken Adelman to create and develop the "Shakespeare in Charge" keynote speeches. Based on Shakespeare in Charge: The Bard's Guide to Leading and Succeeding on the Business Stage (1999), the management guide that Adelman wrote with Norman R. Augustine, ex-chairman and CEO of Lockheed Martin, each "Shakespeare in Charge" customized keynote teaches essential business and interpersonal skills that will help you and your organization be successful in today's world. The "Shakespeare in Charge" book and keynote programs have been featured in Business Week, The Washington Post, George magazine, The Chicago Times, and most recently, the front page of The New York Times Business Section and the London Times. Ken Adelman began teaching Shakespeare in 1977 at Georgetown University, and now teaches at George Washington University. A former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and U.S. Arms Control Director, he has also managed a publicly traded company. Each "Shakespeare in Charge" keynote speech is educational, fun, interactive, customized, and unique. Your team will learn business and life lessons from Shakespeare, one of history's greatest teachers. Adelman will work with you to address such issues as problem-solving, communication and conflict resolution, leadership, marketing, law and ethics, and personal goal-setting. In his keynotes, Adelman focuses on two assets of Shakespeare's work: his keen awareness of what makes people tick, and his marvelous stories, which teach valuable lessons as they entertain. The Bard has more astute perceptions and depictions of human nature than anyone else in history. And business hinges more upon people than upon any other element. Knowing human nature leads to success; not knowing or caring about human nature leads to failure.
