RICHARD
OLIVIER
The son of
Sir Laurence
Olivier and
Dame Joan
Plowright,
Richard Olivier
has created
a highly effective
presentation
using the
arts and in
particular
stores from
Shakespeare,
to focus on
leadership
skills, presentation
techniques
and creativity.
Richard has
been a leading
theatre director
for over ten
years, most
recently directing
“Henry
V” and
the “Merchant
of Venice”
at the Globe
Theatre. Richard
is also a
Visiting Fellow
at the Cranfield
School of
Management
and a Visiting
Lecturer with
the Industrial
Society.
He argues
that the ways
in which organisations
are moving
forward can
no longer
be understood
with the old
business models,
language and
analysis that
has served
managers in
the past.
Whilst the
rational manager
has got business
where it is
today, he
or she will
not be able
to take it
where it needs
to go.
The leaders
of tomorrow
will need
to be ordinary
human beings
with extraordinary
talents. These
include vision,
creativity,
imagination,
flexibility,
effective
communication,
the capacity
to embrace
constant change
and the ability
to manage
the emotional
impact of
all these.
Richard gives
an amusing
and memorable
performance.
Shakespeare’s
Henry V is
a rich source
of inspiration
for his presentations.
A near perfect
story of successful
leadership
– it’s
not just the
famous speeches
that offer
lessons for
the modern
manager, but
also the intricate
subtleties
of incidents
throughout
the play.
From the first
time to the
last scene
the plot reflects
invaluable
insights into
leadership.
“I
found it a
completely
new way of
looking at
issues of
management
and leadership”
Peter Beevor,
Cable &
Wireless.
“Words
simply cannot
express how
much I enjoyed
the course.
I have enough
new material
and ideas
to last me
the rest of
the year”
John Perkins,
Matheson Trust
Co (Jersey)
Ltd
“You
took everyone
by storm.
I found the
leadership
ideas that
you drew out
of Henry V
fascinating
and intriguing.
It was tremendous”
Caroline Pickering,
London Housing
Association
“It
went far beyond
my expectations.
What it taught
me will take
my presentations
to a new level.
Mike Savage,
Royal Mail
