Episode Synopsis

Need a great podcast to relax to this summer? Last February, our editor-in-chief Professor Saku Mantere sat down with Antoni Cimolino, the artistic director of the Stratford Festival for an amazing interview. Together, they unpacked lessons in leadership from the Bard himself, one of the greatest artists of all time: William Shakespeare.Shakespeare was not only a fantastic playwright, but he was also an entrepreneur. And his life and work have much to say about leadership and the perils of greed, power, and corruption – insights that are as relevant today as they were in the 16th century. This episode of the Delve podcast begins with an overview of Shakespeare's life as an entrepreneur. Then, guest Antoni Cimolino and host Saku Mantere delve into the bard's lessons in leadership, with examples from Shakespeare's plays. They conclude the conversation by linking Shakespeare's lessons to today's context.Learn more about Antoni Cimolino and the Stratford Festival: https://bit.ly/3WNMNO8McGill Delve is the official thought leadership platform of the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University.
